Why are factories Not being forced to severely limit pollution if Global Warming isn't a Hoax?

Question

What is the UN doing about it?

There are many countries like China, Mexico, India, etc. who are dumping so many pollutants into our air and water and making people and animals sick. Is this intentionally ignored to support the healthcare industry and cheap labor?

Who is behind the spread of the all of a sudden Global Warming when all this pollution is not being stopped or at least drastically slowed down by using proper stack scrubbers and filters?

What about public transportation? You can see them coming from a mile away by the pollution in the air.

How about jet pollution? This is old news.

If people are supposed to become concerned citizens, should the governments of the world set the example?

Answer 1

That's an easy question to answer. China and India were excluded from Kyoto because they are "developing". To ask them to reduce emissions would stunt their growth. Yet, the US is derided for using the same argument. The UN's agenda is and always has been to tear down the US.

Speaking of Kyoto, how goes it with the countries that signed on? Are they going to meet the emissions requirements they agreed to? ROFL. The EU has ridiculed carbon credits in the past, but now the only way they will come close is by purchasing carbon credits and making Algore rich. What a joke.

Answer 2

The better question would be, "If global warming is not a hoax, why aren't countries like China and India being forced to comply with Kyoto protocol? Why are jet airplanes allowed to fly?"

Relax, global warming as presented to us _is_ a hoax and a scam designed to relieve you of money and personal freedoms.
The truth about global warming, short version, is here:

Global warming is one-half of the climatic cycle of warming and cooling.
The earth's mean temperature cycles around the freezing point of water.
This is a completely natural phenomenon which has been going on since there has been water on this planet. It is driven by the sun.
Our planet is currently emerging from a 'mini ice age', so is becoming warmer and may return to the point at which Greenland is again usable as farmland (as it has been in recorded history).
As the polar ice caps decrease, the amount of fresh water mixing with oceanic water will slow and perhaps stop the thermohaline cycle (the oceanic heat 'conveyor' which, among other things, keeps the U.S. east coast warm).
When this cycle slows/stops, the planet will cool again and begin to enter another ice age.
It's been happening for millions of years.
Humans did not cause it.
Humans cannot stop it.

Answer 3

Because since taking action for the climate has a cost, not taking action has on the short term a competitive advantage.

And there is a country in particular which is powerful and has a lot of short term interest. This country pulled out of the international climate treaty established under the UN Environment Program.

I think I even see the flag of this country in your avatar...

Answer 4

Nation-states came about because a big army can defeat a similarly-equipped smaller army. They are not about conservation of resources or the rights of citizens, they are about preventing a bigger bully from stealing by force of arms the wealth created from your resources and the labor of your citizens. The fact that , unlike agricultural empires, the conquest of a modern industrial society leaves nothing worth looting has made conquest by force of arms less attractive and the nation-state a less useful tool.
The total failure of any nation-state or organization of nation-states to meaningfully address any of the problems brought about by human dominance of the environment will be a major factor in the demise of that form of government.

Answer 5

The UN made these countries exempt from pollution control because it would interfere with their industrial growth.

In developed countries that are Capitalist, emissions are controlled. Going green is very, very profitable, and almost all corporations do limit pollutants as much as possible.

Answer 6

1. The UN can't do anything about it, because the UN can't pass laws. All the UN can do is make recommendations, which it has.

2. The US isn't doing anything about it because G.W. Bush doesn't think it's a big problem.

3. The real fix is to tax carbon worldwide -- but since politicians hate to tax, and voters won't elect them if they do, nothing gets done. It's a classic "tragedy of the commons" situation.

Answer 7

If global warming isn't a hoax, then there is only one answer. Nuclear power. Since nuclear power is not being widely promoted, it tends to make one wonder how much of this is all about money and control instead of saving the planet.

Answer 8

The UN has absolutely no power to do anything about this. In fact, no single country can require any other country to do anything. The only real power to make something like this happen is by boycotting or war.

Answer 9

i don't comprehend lots approximately worldwide warming, notwithstanding it variety of feels to me that guy isn't to blame. yet im keen to take heed to different arguments. so a strategies as Horner being on the payroll of Exxon/Mobil, i don't comprehend that he's, however the scientists you quote are probable on the payroll of somebody like greenpeace, anybody has a income my acquaintances. they don't do it for unfastened. i comprehend that for each scientist that announces it incredibly is led to by ability of guy, yet another does not think of so. That rfile the left consistently likes to quote, most of the scientits on it sued to get their names taken off of it, because of the fact they did not consider the precis, in hassle-free terms the area they had written.

Answer 10

1 Because we are to pollute this planet until it is not sustainable for human life. We do NOT have the strength or will to stop greed, ignorance and the hunger for power. Globally, our perception is to destroy. We create economic values that are unattainable and the pursuit of these goals will destroy us environmentally and humanistcally.
