Again, I'd like to know what data you used to reach that conclusion.

That's an inference, drawn from the fact that the Kyoto Protocol exempts
China
and other developing industrial nations from the restrictions that it imposes
on Western industrial democracies.

IOW it was a conclusion reached without any consideration of
scientific data.

You're completely missing the point, Fred.

If excess CO2 emission is a terrible thing that's going to bring about the end
of the world as we know it --- why are emission restrictions imposed only on
Western industrial democracies, and not on the developing industrial nations
such as China and India?

Kyoto says, basically, CO2 emitted by the US, Germany, UK, Canada, and Japan
causes global warming and must be severely reduced -- but CO2 emitted by China
and India is OK.

What conclusions do *you* draw from that?
