You put down alot of words but say nothing. Why is CO2 released in
China less harmful than CO2 released in the USA?

There's the pot calling the kettle black! Don't tell me extremist
environmentalists don't view corporations with the same suspicion; with evil
intent, overflowing with greed; doing their best to stomp on the little
people and squeeze every last cent out of their pocket. Mr. Potter vs.
George; Scrooge vs. Tiny Tim; ...........Capt. Picard (we just want peace
and to just get along) vs. The Borg (monolithic all consuming entity) :-)

This environmentalist:scientist vs. capitalist:greedmonger comparison is
fantasy and wishful thinking.

Like asking why is oil consumed in the US more wasteful than oil consumed in
China? Ans -- because we consume more, and more per capita.

Well, what have corporations done to dispell that view? They get
environmental laws repealed, they get exempted from environmental regulations,
they don't mind clear-cutting forests (even if they're endangered species
there) because it's less costly for them, they want to dump mining waste in
rivers, they kick at snowmobile restrictions in Yellowstone, etc. They send
jobs overseas and lay off workers while paying their execs millions and
dodging US taxes.

If more were like DuPont -- which had bought thousands of acres near the
Okeefenokee swamp for mining, but after environmental protests donated the
land instead for a nature preserve -- perhaps people would have a better view
of corporations.
