The Chinese are very irresponsible in this matter and the UN must impose trade sanctions on China if this continues. The greatest threat from China is nuclear proliferation, which is why a combined NATO / Russia nuclear capability is very necessary. This is purely defensive if course. Iran and North Korea are also danger spots for nuclear proliferation. This shows what out of control capitalism can do. China has a long history of violation of human rights, under Mao, seventy million people were murdered. This worse than Stalin and Hitler and all the rest of the tin pot dictators put together. Also, the closure of Ford plants in the mid West has much the same out of control capitalist motive.

Will not flood you with developments on global warming Myron, as you request, but China’s position below remains entrenched. Best, Gareth
BEIJING, April 27 - Drought-hit Australia may offer a warning of how climate change threatens core human needs, as the continent’s food bowl faces the prospect of having irrigation cut off, Britain’s climate change ambassador in Beijing has said.
Canberra has said it will halt irrigation to an area that usually grows over a third of the country’s farm produce, if heavy rain does not fall in the next few weeks. “If that happens, that is not just an economic blow to Australia, it will do significant damage beyond Australia because of its effect on world food prices,” John Ashton told Reuters during a visit to the Chinese capital. “This is a current threat that almost certainly, or at least very probably, arises from human-induced climate change.” Australia faced an “unprecedentedly dangerous” drought, Australian Prime Minister John Howard said last week.
Ashton, Britain’s Special Representative on Climate Change, said growing worries about global warming should not translate into tight short-term emissions caps for developing nations. Rich countries responsible for most of the global warming gases currently in the atmosphere should instead channel more funds to poor nations to curb emissions growth, he added.
“It’s right that we should lead the effort,” he said. “Most of the excess burden of emissions which is in the atmosphere at the moment is the result of (industrial nations’) development.” “Furthermore, we have more of the capital, more of the innovative capacity, more of the capacity to shield ourselves from some of the worst consequences of climate change,” he added, echoing Beijing’s position that it should not be penalised for other countries’ past industrialisation.
Beijing could become the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gasses, overtaking the US, as early as this year, upping international pressure for action. It has rejected caps on emissions for decades to come, saying they may hurt growth. Ashton said he was not in Beijing to try to get commitments on emissions. Although prickly about rising global attention on Chinese emissions, Chinese officials are increasingly worried about temperatures that have risen faster in China than global averages and may soon threaten food and water supplies in their own country. Ashton said. “…it is on the agenda of a much wider range of people in China now including people in leadership positions who until recently would have been pretty difficult to engage with on climate change” .
–Forwarded Message Attachment– I am still interested in these topics, but I have been trying to get RFR off the ground for twelve years, so I am pushing the theory forward as far as possible without computers. An occasional reprot from GJE on global warming would be useful. In respect of spacetime energy I am interested only in a device that has been certified as ready for production, and in a device for which all details are openly available. _________________________________________________________________ Try Live.com: where your online world comes together - with news, sports, weather, and much more. http://www.live.com/getstarted=
