Comments on: Copenhagen Talks Resume After 130 Nations Temporarily Walk Out – Day 8 Roundup http://www.environmentalleader.com/2009/12/14/copenhagen-roundup-day-8/ Environmental Leader Fri, 25 May 2012 22:05:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Gregor http://www.environmentalleader.com/2009/12/14/copenhagen-roundup-day-8/comment-page-1/#comment-169190 Gregor Tue, 15 Dec 2009 07:23:48 +0000 http://www.environmentalleader.com/?p=28782#comment-169190 Hey why don't we spend a few billion and plant millions of fast growing trees in key places around the globe and they will use the carbon emmisions and in turn increase oxygen. The new saying can be plant as tree save the world. Just imagine if everyone planted one and each government planted a hundred thousand.... What do you think. Its more feasable that assuming that the industrial nations can reduce their carbon emmisions like proposed without going back to the middle ages.

Seriously, these guys are facing losing their *home* because my electricity comes from coal power. Let's just pass our climate legislation, and in it include a tarrif on imported goods from any country that does not have some set of climate change legistlation of its own in place (that is being followed through on in a verified manner). Obviously tarrif requirements might vary based on different categories of nations: maybe ranging from no tarrif for the least developed nations (whether or not they have climate change policy in place; or even trade benefits if they do have something in place) to strict requirements on developed nations. China would fall somewhere in the middle. The US consumes roughly 25% of the world's resources. If we took an action like that, others would follow. And in the meantime, tarrifs protect US jobs and goods from countries that do not play fair. By the way, EL: I think this article repeats halfway through... “As the tiny island of Tuvalu still calls for a new treaty with deeper cuts in greenhouse gases…”
