Why are China’s and India’s pollution deemed insignificant by the miracle of turning corn into gas crowd?

Question

China has already overtaken the US as the world's "biggest polluter", a University of California report to be published next month says.

The report warns that unchecked FUTURE GROWTH will DWARF any emissions cuts made by rich nations under Kyoto (“I think they mean the poor working stiffs of rich nations”). And India's environment minister told his parliament India's emissions, the third largest carbon emmisions and also on a course to pass the US, were insignificant.

The environmentalists who advocate turning food into gasoline also advocate that India and China get eternal passes from having to deal with such responsibilities. That leaves one of the big three polluters, or about 300 million of us working stiffs, to carry the ball for approximately 2 ½ billion people, who think whatever they do is insignificant, then we die and it doesn’t matter anymore.

And people who imagine they are responsible actually bought into that.

Answer 1

China and india says that the carbon footprints of their citizens are low compared to the carbon footprints of other industrialized nations.

how i wish another protocol will be made and that protocol will make a fixture of a certain emission that every country will follow, no excuses.

Answer 2

Does this mean you would ignore the health warnings about cigarette smoking and keep smoking yourself, just because a co-worker smoked and you'd pick up some 2nd hand smoke?  So until your co-worker stops, you refuse to stop? I should hope not.  

You're arguing with a straw man.  No one wants India and China to keep increasing their emissions of greenhouse gases. But it's extremely hypocritical for anyone emitting 20 tons/person to demand that someone emitting 3 tons/person needs to cut back first.  The US should lead the world in this fight, not lag behind whining about percentages of cut-backs required.
