If this is true

then why aren't the other countries of the world held to the same standard as us?

"US energy related carbon emissions in 2012 will fall below 5,300 million tons or down about 12%, compared to the peak emissions of 6,023 million tons in 2007.  Through this September, carbon emissions have been down every month in 2012, when compared to each of the first 9 months of 2011 and 2010. No other country matches that record."

I've always said this and I'll say it again, before our illustrious political leaders try to force us the United States of America to further reduce our carbon emissions or any other type of environmental law or regulation on us.  The rest of the world has to meet the standard we already have obtained.

Until such time as China, Russia, India and all the rest meet the same standard we currently have, the US Government and it's agencies and or proxies are forbidden to enact, or pass any further tightening of the laws or regulations.


SO SAY WE ALL!

A few computer related stories you should read

First from Insty a story of how the government is trying to force a software company to install a "Backdoor" into his software so "He" not the government will use to obtain information.

"Stuart says authorities specifically told him that they would not use the backdoor themselves but that he would be expected to access the servers of online casinos and others who used his software overseas in order to retrieve the information of gamblers and bookmakers on their behalf.

“They made it clear that they would do nothing. I was expected to do everything, to modify the system to allow myself to get in to get the information they wanted,” he says. “Their whole intention was for me to retrieve information from those databases that were located in foreign countries…. They were going to use me to get to the clients…. But I’m not a hacker, I’m a software developer.”

So now the .GOV is threatening people with prison time if they don't break the law on the .GOV's behalf.

Then the following two stories I got from a news subscription

Internet Security Jeopardized by a single mistake

"An intermediate digital certificate for *.google.com domains has been blocked by Google, Mozilla and Microsoft after a Turkish certificate authority (CA) incorrectly provided it to two other Turkish organizations who are not authorized for the privileges that certificate affords."


Google Changes means less search results

"If you use Google Shopping to find and compare items you'd like to buy, you could find fewer results in future searches. Google said today (Jan. 3) it would allow website owners to block their pages from specialized search results in a response to concerns from the Federal Trade Commission."
