They say that in my home state (Ohio) a squirrel could start at the center of the state and get to any state line without touching the ground in the mid 1850's. Yeah, we're closing the barn door after the horses got out and died of old age.

This is all very fine and dandy, but how do we expect to have the moral authority to complain about what a 3rd world nation is doing if we don't stop doing it ourselves. I always found it odd and hypocritical that we were so vocal about Brazil chopping down it's rain forests when we were clear cutting huge tracts of our own forests during the 1980's. As for the coal fired plants and the like, it is possible to burn coal almost as cleanly as natural gas. Our coal fired plants here are proving it. Unfortunately, the technology is expensive, and you are correct, big business tends to buy politicians off (they call it "lobbying") so they can keep doing the nasty stuff.
