A low price in oil ensures that oil and coal will remain our ources for energy. the only hope for renewable energy is a high oil price. that makes renewable nergy not so expensive in comparison to oil. So if you want less oil and coal burned you should hope for a high price. I wouldn't count on that as we are continually increasing the amount of viable oil for drilling through new technology. With China and India only growing I wouldn't count on the world using less fossil fuels any time soon. There is no benifit to China or India trying to cut emissions, nor should they be forced too by the world and the rest of the world doesnt have the  uscle to enforce it any ways. Slowing down consumption in the western world may help, but as China and India gain ground any cutbacks from the west are sure to be matched or surpassed by increases in just china and india

oh, i can see the benefits.

 

that is particle pollution. like i have mentioned. co2 isnt visible to the eye, the supposed cause of global warming. thank you for agreeing with me.

edit: i'll add that if china is ok with that amount of pollution that they can literally see and breath, what makes you thnk they will care at all about co2 emissions which can't be seen, and are not harmful?
