Quote:You are talking about a Luddite revolution I assume? Just what makes you think that something like that is possible? Don't you get it, China, India and ASEAN are industrializing at a rate which the west hasn't seen for decades! Climate change is here to stay and all the complaining and whining in the West is totally irrelevant! Adapt or die.
Untrue, these things are connected. If in the West we would act a bit brave, we would just put huge import taxes on products that are made in a way that is not according to our standards (not only environmentally but also without child labour eg). But of course that is bad for our own wealth......so it is us who decide.
