you have it backwards
The advanced nations are involved in a conspiracy to hinder the development of third-world nations. By restricting the forms of energy sources they can use, we are consolidating our position at the top of the global pile.
It's the other way around. The trailing economies want to limit the leading economies. One of the problems with Kyoto was the absense of third-world countries, and very populous second-world countries.
On another note, some other major issues of dispute:
- The significance of a contribution of CO2 to warming compared to the fluctuations in the Sun.
- The cycle of CO2 and its absorbtion rate as it increases

don't forget the Mars global warming
NASA has published a report on the melting of the polar caps on Mars. It must be those man-made rovers. :-)

Re: you have it backwards
Typical. Completely missed the point.
Go back to the quote that I was responding to.
The accusation was that advanced countries were trying to limit third world countries.
That is absurd, since the third world countries are exempt, and it would be the advanced countries that take the ecomonic hit.
