This doesn't mean that if the economies of the West are restricted and curtailed because of draconian energy regulations, that those countries won't stop polluting until they achieve a targeted economic level that surpasses the present levels in the West. AND.... IF those countries achieve economic superiority, will they use their new found wealth to clean up the environment???
China's pollution is ours. We sent production and associated negative externalities over there.
