Global Warming in India
Reason Magazine
takes a look at India's reaction to the whole Global Warming scare:
Starving Indians Not Impressed by Global Warming Plan
How do you say "screw you" in Hindi?
The plan's authors, the Prime Minister's Council on Climate Change, said India would rather save its people from poverty than global warming, and would not cut growth to cut gases.
"It is obvious that India needs to substantially increase its per capita energy consumption to provide a minimally acceptable level of wellbeing to its people."
The plan's only real promise was in fact a threat: "India is determined that its per capita greenhouse gas emissions will at no point exceed that of developed countries."
Good on them! An amazing nation able to function well with so many different groups. Their exports are quite good -- I have some machine tools that were made in India and their build quality is a lot better than the average Chinese junk...
