The Chinese and Indian "rule book" states that we need to measure any cap on the emission of CO2 on a per capita of population basis. So we, in the developed world, who caused the alledged problem of AGW, need to fix our profligate ways, while China, India and the developing world, catch up to our standard of living. I agree this is very logical, and shows the stupidity of our politicians clinging to the idea that AGW is real. If we abandon AGW, then the problem disappears.

I like the part about paying for our ancestor's indulgences. If they are going to go there, how about excessive reproduction? ;D |

China can't force payment of anything. They can't kick us out of our "house" (country). If they demand immediate payment for their investment the value crashes to zero. If they start a war the exact same thing happens...because you don't pay back enemies. If they attempt to collapse the US economy their own economy crashes with it. |

(Now, to demonstrate why I went into IT and not Economics)
If China tries to force the USA to pay, then the economies just wait to see who flinches first - right? .
So what happens to any kind of credit rating the US Govt has if the US doesn't pay? (Gee, it's drifting from GHG/AGW to Economics - gotta find a sick computer to work on!)
[Segue alert!!]
I guess though, if the new cars at GM (Gov't Motors) are fuel efficient enough, then the GHG will go down and the economy will recover and AGW will be proven correct.... (how's that for getting back on topic??)

The sort of obligations that China holds do not allow a demand for payment. China doesn't hold a bunch of US Government checks that are payable on demand. |
