BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - European Union leaders have warned the United States, China and other major polluters that their industries could face EU sanctions if they do not sign up to an international agreement on fighting global warming by next year.

"If international negotiations fail appropriate measures can be taken," the 27 EU leaders said Friday in declaration after a two-day summit.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy went further. "Our main concern is to set up a mechanism that would allow us to strike against the imports of countries that don't play by the rules of the game on environmental protection," he told reporters.

The warning came as the economic turndown focused European minds on the impact on industry of their groundbreaking agreement last year to cut carbon emissions by 20 percent from 1990 levels by 2020.

Yeah, because last time a major depression hit, Smoot-Hawley was a really, really great idea. Just what we need, protectionism dressed in green wellington boots.

Why do we elect morons as leaders all the time? Somebody tell me. Why?

Yeah, abolutely right.

Coincidentally, the U.S. stock markets had their biggest day since 2001 this week. This proves the stock market isn't going down.

So there, smarty pants economists.

It's not the long-term trend that's important, it's teh EXCEPTION TO THE RULE that disproves the "climate change" or "Bush Recession" theory.

We wingbats know how to selectively choose our facts to prove our pre-determined outcomes.

Science. Bah. Statistics. Bah. Economics. Bah.

WHOA looks like the big, bad EU is really throwing its weight around the imaginary global warming crisis huh?

Let me tell ya China is shaking in its slave wage boots, and when is the last time America bought anything from anywhere besides China. Like Mark Steyn points out maybe Europe should start worrying about the rising tides of Arabs taking to the streets?

I bet you dont hear Europe's 'Rush Limbaughs' mentiong a peep about that ;)

headline says it all. In some ways, the UK may be more 'Progressive' than San Francisco and Berekley.......or just adding some additional reasoning of why MoonBats are more mental than the rest of the US.
