Global Warming, American Style

American Style? It doesn't exist. The United States has been so idiotic in it's "negotiations" with the world at large in Montreal that the planet may not survive another 1000 years. But the way the US "negotiators" were "negotiating" gives the impression that this is a war! This is for the future of all of man-kind, the poor and the rich, blacks and whites, the liberals and the conservatives. The sad thing is, if humans create something that could save a select few from global warming, then the spaces would probably go to the highest bidder (even though money would mean nothing in the face of imminent desrtuction of civivization). This seems to be the way society works: money runs everything. I think that the only way to get the US to cooperate is to force them. International sanctions would force Wal-Mart to buy domestic goods rather than Chinese, the US would go almost computer-free, at least until they can start making their own, and the American society as we know it would do a 360. Within a week, I think that we would have complete US participation in all present and future climate talks. Simple, eh? Not really. Actually enforcing sanctions would be a nightmare. But other than that, and a few other things, a good plan, no?
