Between 1997 and 2004 (the most recent year for which we have complete statistics), carbon dioxide emissions rose as follows:
Emissions worldwide increased 18.0%;
Emissions from countries that ratified the protocol increased 21.1%;
Emissions from non-ratifiers of the protocol increased 10.0%;
Emissions from the U.S. (a non-ratifier) increased 6.6%;
Emissions from the U.S. increased less than 75% of ratifying countries.
With respect to the last point, the following are the percentage rises in emissions for a list of selected countries which have ratified the protocol (or which were exempted from targets):
Maldives, 252%;
China, 55%;
Luxembourg, 43%;
Iran, 39%;
Norway, 24%;
Russia, 16%;
Italy, 16%;
Finland, 15%;
Mexico, 11%;
Japan, 11%;
Canada, 8.8%.
What can one say? Should Mr. Bush have ratified the protocol and then followed everybody else’s example, I wonder?
Here we have, yet again, unequivocal evidence that ‘global warming’ is the ultimate faith without works. All that matters is your public confession of sin and belief, which must include the vilification of the U.S. The hypocrisy of the EU, and of many other countries, is breathtaking. The developing world must hold out at Bali against such dangerous deceits.
