Audio Spot: Greenhouse gas emissions entangled within
international economy Marland says global warming in China has
an impact on the U.S. economy. "The estimate is that something
like 10 percent of emissions from China are to produce goods
that will be used in the United States," Marland says. "The
globalizing economy makes it more and more difficult to be clear
how we solve it and how is the climate system linked to the
global economic system." Marland says the global warming debate
has entered a new chapter. "We're more and more talking about
not how do we stop it, but how do we cope with it," Marland
said. "It has been a significant change." Marland discussed the
global warming issue during a recent University of Tennessee
Science Forum. - ORNL's Terrestrial Ecology Group ORNL is
