Global Global Warming Catfight: It's On

India says, 'you can forget about us screwing up our economy over global warming, but feel free to do it yourselves, western industrialized nations!' So, India is out, Brazil, as I have said, is out. Russia? Puhlease. China? Well, John Kerry says the Chinese will cut greenhouses gas like nobody's business, so how will you bet? I think it is fair to say that we'll go 4 for 4 on BRIC countries taking a pass on climate change silliness. The result? Either, 1) the West caves and plays the BRIC's game and global warming takes a back seat to economic competitiveness, or 2) trade war.

UPDATE: India wasn't kidding.
