You know, this is a bit creepy coming from a liberal Democrat from San Francisco:

In answering a question from a student about how Pelosi was going to get Americans to cut back on their carbon emissions, the leading Democratic lawmaker said it was important to educate children on how to conserve energy and for citizens to build more environmentally friendly homes.

“We have so much room for improvement,” she said. “Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory … of how we are taking responsibility.”

Basically we’re hearing rhetoric from China about how it’ll work with us on this “common challenge” that is global warming. Uh huh. Have you ever been out to the rural areas of China, watching the sheer amount of pollution that can literally block out the sun? Or even to some major cities, where the snow is literally brown? I’ll believe China will begin sacrificing 8-10% annual growth for fighting global warming when the tooth fairy comes and tells me.
