The reason it is profitable to slash and burn is that the western model of capitalism promotes getting rich quick - it's perfectly acceptable in the western model to make a fast buck and move to Hawaii - who cares what you leave behind?
Likewise, it's perfectly acceptable for the US to not enter the Kyoto treaty and continue in its own lazy way towards an effective global slashing and burning. Why NCB is it that wehn the US acts like this, it's economically reasonable, but when another country does it, it's because they are lazy? Believe it? - It doesn't even make sense.
