Not only did I suggest it, I flat out stated it was. The Kyoto treaty is an international trade agreement. I did not state that it was directly related to
other trade agreements.

The idea that they should get a pass is absurd to me.

I don't see any rational basis for that opinion. Probably the entirety of the West has completed the progression through industrialization. As a result, the environment of the planet suffered. You are suggesting that simply because China and India have not yet progressed as the West, they should be penalized for that exact same progression, even while the West was not penalized for that progression. I don't see why the time line of progression is even a factor in determining who should and should not be penalized, other than as a concern that Western economies will suffer - which, even if true (though I already stated I do not agree with that analysis), is irrelevant to the concept of global responsibility coupled with fairness.

I am a great fan of Malcolm X. Jorgelito, yes, my avatar is a young Thelonius Monk playing piano.
