Global CO2 increased from 2005-2011 because China up 60%, North America and Europe lowered CO2. Western countries harm their growth, ridiculously punish innocent citizens, all to lower CO2, China and others negate their sacrifices, no sign this will change. Time to look for a new job if you're in CO2 terror field

5/8/13, "Jack Mintz: Canada unfairly Gored," Financial Post opinion

"Al Gore likened Alberta’s oil sands to an “open sewer” that contributes “to the reckless spewing of pollution into the Earth’s atmosphere.”

The proof, however, is in the statistics rather than political conjecture. Compiled by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, accounting for almost 85% of greenhouse gas emissions, have grown worldwide by 15% from 2005 to 2011. This must surely be depressing to many climatologists who wish to see concerted global action to reduce carbon emissions. It is so far off reduction targets, it is almost laughable....

Carbon emissions coming from the emerging countries swamp trends from advanced countries in North America and Europe. China alone has increased carbon emissions by almost 60% from 2005 to 2011. The absolute increase in metric tons is three times more than all the reduction that has taken place in all of Canada, Europe, Japan and the United States. Add India and Russia to China and CO2 emissions have increased by four billion metric tons in six years time....

Despite the efforts in the advance countries to reduce GHG emissions, their efforts are swamped by the huge increase of such emissions in emerging economies. If climate policies have any effect, they must be achievable at the global level. It makes little sense for advanced countries to take on policies that hurt their own economic growth if environmental benefits are unattainable.

Such failure seems to be the case with China, Russia and others where carbon emissions are sharply on the rise. It is almost as if the Western countries are digging ditches, only to see them filled up by emerging countries following up from behind." via Tom Nelson
