It just seems so obvious this 'exercise' is much more about controlling people the 'top dogs' feel are beneath them, and re-distributing hard earned money of successful business people.
Especially when the countries with more freedom having already done a lot of cleaning of our air and water, at no small cost to all of us, are expected to just give money to China and India, with NO clear rules as to what they do with it, it seems like our 'leaders' got snookered once again. Except that it looks like they got exactly what they wanted and they believe they have pulled the wool over OUR eyes!
Why they want to hold back the US population when we have gained our prosperity and world leadership BECAUSE we have had relatively inexpensive fuel is hard to figure any other way. The good old American ingenuity will continue to devise methods to further clean the coal and oil emissions, given half a chance, and we will exemplify the advancement of all people, as we have in the past, if we are ALL willing to work for our goals.
