China claims the idea of carbon tariffs on individual products is protectionism in disguise.
It also claims the Kyoto treaty bans them from being imposed on developing nations.
True enough, but, we’re not in Kyoto anymore, President Hu Jintao and Chinese communists, we’re on the way to Copenhagen.
So, after several weeks of promising news about China on environmental issues, it’s now back to being worse than the U.S.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
