Why do you think this is a good deal for the US or even the world?
Don't you think restrictions should be increased for polluters like China and India? Sure other countries want our money and want to see us disadvantaged in economic competition.
Exactly! And anyone who actually works in modern manufacturing can clearly see that the Earth will not be cleaned up nor global warming slowed until the REAL polluters are curbed. U.S. manufacturing isn't 19th Century. Today we reduce waste and pollution because we want to wring the most value out of resources. But if people just sit in offices or at home, they don't even know how much modern manufacturing has changed.
