Yes. The point is that pollution regulation works an
No it doesn't and China is the biggest reason it doesn't.
So, you're saying Americans don't deserve to have good air quality? Are you for effing real, or just utterly stupid?
How do you justify the health effects of horrid air quality?

Now you are just giving silly excuses because you don't have a good counter point. FACT: Beijing has a horrible, dangerous pollution problem. FACT: the Beijing government has not considered regulating this pollution a priority over economic growth, until just recently. Looks like they are finally learning from countries like America, that regulations DO help.

Maybe if you would stop ignoring it, he would stop repeating it.
Sorry not a dog. I don't jump when people say so, and I sure the hell don't roll over for them.
Do you think the lack of regulation regarding pollution in Bejing is a good thing?
What China does is their own GD business.
Telling other countries what to do I leave for the neocons.
The people who support 'climate regulation' created China.
Because Americans apparently too bloody good to 'breathe' dirty air.
Again, that is not logical.
You are saying that the people who oppose pollution create it.

So better to do nothing.
Got it. China's doing it so we should too.
Perfectly logical.

If the pill works and does cut 25% of methane and does not kill the cows or those who eat cows or drink milk then fine. If the pills can be made for .25 cents and the government mandates cause the price to go to $25 (typical bureaucratic B.S.) per pill then not so good.
What pill? I think you're confused. This is a methane digester.

At the University of Hohenheim in Germany, scientists created a pill to trap gas in a cow's rumen -- its first stomach -- and convert the methane into glucose. However, the pill requires a strict diet and structured feeding times, something that may not lend itself well to grazing.

Well it is not logical to support giving the US government more power than it already has.
And letting it do whatever the hell it wants for the 'common good'.
They don't have a 'great' track record of it for the past 200 years.
So Neo's argument is that, if something is allowed in any country on earth, it then should be allowed in the states...in this case, endless corporate pollution ripping apart the landscape.
What type of mindset looks for the worst possible players on the stage and demands we emulate them?
The argument is what?

No.

That fact is those who support that kind of regulation just outsource it to other countries.
That does not end pollution.
I can fire a government and replace them
can't fire a corporation.
You are suggesting we tie the government up and let corporations run the show.

Thank you for totally misrepresenting my position here.
It reduces pollution here.
As you seem to be complaining about, it already has regulatory power. Much better to do nothing, right?
Well it is not logical to support giving the US government more power than it already has.
Right. Every man for himself and himself alone. Good plan.
And letting it do whatever the hell it wants for the 'common good'.
I wonder what sort of quality of life would result from a population increase of 520% without regulation for the common good.
They don't have a 'great' track record of it for the past 200 years.
I am not trying to, but so far, the only thing you have truly said is that china does it, therefore we shouldn't have to.
