Really Now?

Just after I made my last post, China went ahead and "indefinitely" postponed their climate change plan. Oh how typical, and yet still so frustrating. Richard McGregor just reported in the Financial Times that although, "China is a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol, it remains opposed to accepting mandatory cuts in emissions, which it regards as interfering with the country’s right to develop." Just when does their right to develop impose on others' right to live? Doesn't it seem that they've already reached that level? China's development mandate is reaching its end and they need to be made aware of this.
