Really clever people, the Americans
by Manoj M on Apr 02, 2008 11:06 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

They want to continue to ride their gas guzzlers, but want to deny India the rural electrification projects. The per capita emission of US is close to 100 times that of India, yet they make the pretence that its India which is polluting. India should never agree to sign the climate control treaty till we are at least half as developed as the US. I hope the US boot-licking politicians like Advani & Manmohan dont go ahead & sign this treaty like Nehru did at the UN.

I too agree. Also usa dumps her wastages in Antartica which is a closed circuit secret for all others. Damn arrogant nation. Why doesnt usa tell the same to NSG or IAEA. Too much deviation. Usa nows only one thing - use and throw.

India is a big polluter today. Just go to any Indian city or village and breathe the air or see the general filth around.

We don't even measure our pollution levels as there are hardly any metrics in place so to keep saying we are not the biggest polluters is moot unless we measure it.

how can yu equate a city and a village ? yu must be dumb or stupid or havent visited an average village aroudn the country. filth of the cow dung and dust is different from pollution. villages around the country are hardly polluted unless there's a river or strem passing by which carries the affluents dumped in the cities.
