However there has also been movements in North America to curb emissions including many of the US states.

So while you remain set in your core beliefs about third world countries and such those third world countries are actively in the process of doing the opposite.
I'd love to have a carbon tax that was close to revenue-neutral (maybe by upping everyone's personal income tax deduction). It would help bring our country into the 21st century.
And even if our contribution to atmospheric CO2 is decreasing, we are still one of the bigger emitters out there, both total and per-capita. China is ahead of us in total emissions (though, afaik, no one else is), and several smaller countries are ahead of us per capita, but we're still one of the biggest contributors, and our actions are likely to encourage others to act similarly. If we are sensible, and enact a carbon tax or cap-and-trade (I'd prefer a carbon tax, it strikes me as simpler and less intrusive), other countries are more likely to do the same. If we keep sitting here with our thumbs up our behinds doing nothing about AGW, other countries are... also more likely to do the same.
The U. S. should lead by example. Recessions are caused by tight money. If the U.S. doesn't thighten up the money supply, clean energy will lead to more jobs, not less. And the rest of the world will follow.
CR should start a clean energy company, borrow money from all of us and then go under. That is the example liberals have given us to date problem is they believe failure is the cost we simply have to pay for.
I didn't realize we were in a race to see who could be the most stupid. If China and India and whoever else want to fight over some old cow's shrinking teat, that is their mistake.
It makes a lot of sense to Al Gore. He laughs all the way to the bank and people like CR think he is great. HA! HA!
mainly due to fracking and reduced economic growth, but with global emissions of CO2 climbing at an increased pace, how sensible is it for the U.S. to impose carbon tax, or cap and trade.
