Recent decisions by the governments of Australia, Japan and Canada to downgrade their efforts over climate change have caused panic among those states most affected by global warming, who fear others will follow as they rearrange their priorities during the downturn.Of course, all the leading capitalist nations have, to a great or lessor extent, reneged or dragged their heels on promises to reduce carbon emissions (Germany is probably the least sinful--see this). Of course, their capitalist ruling classes will always find ways to renege or cheat (probably the best way is to off-shore production to the least developed countries) to promote their own industries and profits.
