BERLIN - The Social Democrats are calling for sanctions on energy-intensive US export products if the Bush administration continues to obstruct international agreements on climate protection, the party's leading environmental specialist said yesterday.

The move, after the United Nations climate conference last week in Bali, Indonesia, has won strong support from the Greens and other leftist groupings in the European Parliament. Those factions will renew their bid to impose such levies when the Parliament reconvenes next month.

It also signals a big effort by the Social Democrats to take the initiative on the environment and perhaps reshape it as a foreign policy issue that could affect relations between Berlin and Washington.

In the conservative ideas about property, you can't dump trash on somebody else's property, you have to respect it. So what's the difference between that and dumping carbon in the air? The Bush stance is not defendable from either side.

and by 2012, expect it to be in our face.

Welcome to Baghdad under Bush1 and Clinton1.
We might well feel what life under sanctions is like.
Imagine no one selling us steel, hi tech goods,
only walmart crap.

No oil, except for what the UN allows us. By that time, the UN will be in the Netherlands, and they will be fighting the ocean for their lives.
