June 6th -- a letter from IL in response to the Cap and Trade editorial:

"It's startling to realize that Warner-Lieberman will require the U.S. to cut its CO2 emissions to 1,560 million metric tons by 2050, which is what our emissions were in 1922 when the population of the U.S. was 110 million.

"The population ot the U.S. is forecast to grow around 440 million by 2050. The end result is that America will need to cut its per-capita emissions to 3.5 metric tons by 2050, as compared with 14.2 metric tons in 1922.

"Warner-Lieberman requires the U.S. to cut its CO2 emissions to below China's current per capita emissions.

"The president ot the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, demonstrated that there is a linkage betwee CO2 emissions and GDP. Do those who vote for Warner-Lieberman want America to have a lower standard of living than China's?"
