Four fingers pointing back at US
During WWII we had critical needs for what sugar and flour we could produce, so we gave people limited quotas. No matter how rich you were, you could only buy a limited amount of sugar. Now, we have a critical need to reduce CO2 production. Our survival depends on it! Why are we not willing to apply a quota to how much CO2 each person can generate? When one considers the inefficiency of China’s production and the travel, this would not only reduce the CO2 generated from the two largest polluters on the planet, but would help re-establish American industry.
Much of China’s CO2 production would disappear without the support of the American consumer. Although I doubt if the current crop of my fellow citizens has the strength or intelligence to stop purchasing goods from China, I still choose to maintain hope. We need to look beyond the price in dollars and get serious about our impending extinction.
