We Can End Global Warming by Rejecting all Products from Countries w/no Environmental Standards

7. As a nation China produces more CO2, but we're still number 1 in per capita emissions.

To a degree I agree that our wasteful purchasing of cheap and energy intensive products that are shipped internationally is a major contributor of greenhouse gases. But even without that we still consume vast and unsustainable amounts of energy in our daily lives, thereby producing vast and unsustainable amounts of pollution and waste. If those manufacturing industries were brought back here they would still produce a tremendous amount of CO2 because *nobody,* including the United States, properly regulates CO2.

All that aside, I agree that free trade agreements are destructive to economies around the world, and beneficial mostly to the very rich.
