Pollution Solutions

摘要

'It's all very well us sorting out our carbon emissions but China and India will pump more pollution into the atmosphere than 1 00 cleaner British power stations could ever make up for. It's those two we've got to worry about.'rnWe have all heard it said. The above phrase, or variations of it, has become part of the stock in trade of any debate over the implementation of environmental technologies in the UK or Western economies in general.rnThe assumption underlying it is that the world's two fastest-growing economies have little intention or incentive to base that growth on environmentally benign production processes.rnOur cover feature this issue presents an alternative view and one that is encouraging on two levels - first, in terms of theirrnwillingness to address issues of environmental control, second, in the fact that they want, and need, the UK's help in doing so.
