blessed britons
Consider, for example, the long list of governments that Britain has itself directly overthrown or tried to overthrow: Iran (1953), British Guiana (1953 and 1963), Egypt (1956), Indonesia (1957-1958, 1965), Yemen (1962-1970), Oman (1970), Libya (1996), Yugoslavia (1999), Afghanistan (2001). There are also numerous cases where Britain has welcomed the overthrow of governments by the US, such as: Guatemala (1954), Iraq (1963), Vietnam (1963), Dominican Republic (1965), Chile (1973), Nicaragua (1980s) and Panama (1989)
mad world
The United States curreently produces more than 5 tons of carbon per person per year. Japan and Western European nations have per capita emissions that range from 1.6 tons to 4.2 tons, with most below 3 tons. In the developing world, emissions average 0.6 tons per capita, with China at 0.76 and India at 0.29. This means that to reach an 'even-handed' per capita annual emission limit of 1 ton of carbon per person, India would be able to increase its carbon emission to more than three times what they now are. China would be able to increase its emissions a more modest 33 per cent. The United States, on the other hand, would have to reduce its emissions to no more than one-fifth of present levels.
