Worlds worst polluter?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/china/story/0,,2106999,00.html
This is an article in the Guardian, a ultra left wing British publication, about china surpassing the US in carbon emissions. I am amazed the Guardian took time off from bashing the US to admit we may not be the big bad environmental bogeyman. China now has 8% more carbon released than the US. These are China' numbers as well. Unlike us, they do not count emissions from all of their vehicles or from the numerous fires in the coal mines that feed their power plants. This article uses the line "the worlds worst polluter." They base this term on carbon emissions alone.
My other concern is how much pollution are we ignoring in order to join the frenzy for the theoretical disaster ahead.

This article discusses the yellow dust cloud that is blown out of the steppes of western China. It is deadly to asthma sufferers in Korea and Japan, and even affects the air quality in Oregon. The article does not cover studies that the dust clouds contain heavy metals like sulfur and zinc. You never see articles on this kind of pollution. You also do not here of ship wrecks in the Malacca straits. http://bpms.kempen.gov.my/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8894&Itemid=61
Liberals who are rushing to buy into man made global warming want to cripple the US economy in order to stop a process we are not even sure we are responsible for by using policies that have no tests to show they work will not consider more pervasive and obvious forms of pollution. Actors, like Leonardo DiCaprio, make blank statements that the US is the worst polluter in the world based on carbon, a naturally occurring substance when we breathe. In their rush to blame the US for all the worlds ills they ignore real problems with have actual solutions, but facing China takes heart. The claims of the left ignores the amount of cancer surrounding every coal burning power plant in China.
I only wonder what the long term affect of the left ignoring all the other forms of pollution to focus on carbon. We have always depended on the left pointing out our pollution and environmental issues. Now we have reached the point where we can only depend on the left to scream irrationally about carbon. Forget real visible pollution that poisons the air and causes cancer. That pollution does not make a good slogan on a T-shirt at a trendy Hollywood party.
