In the Greenhouse

The illustrious Shikha Dalmia explains why countries like India won't agree to "cut greenhouse gases":
In short, the choice for developing countries is between mass death due to the consequences of an overheated planet sometime in the distant future, and mass suicide due to imposed instant starvation right now. Is it any surprise that they are reluctant to jump on the global-warming bandwagon?
I figure that the U.S. has cleaned up its environment by exporting many of its dirty industries to less developed countries.

We no longer feel
a need to make steel.

We buy it from overseas,
where poorer people pollute as they please.
