As well we should. The US has more to lose from these proposals than anyone else, not least because we'd likely be the only ones to stick to them. To be clear, the Daily Topic's position is that the issue is entirely politicized, anti-capitalist, and merely another in a long line of environmentalist attacks on mankind. It doesn't hurt to recognize, though, that as the world's most developed economy, America would suffer a far higher cost from such provisions than would less-developed countries (which would be the rest of the world).

Some might suppose that this is precisely the goal.
