   What's both amusing and irritating is the opportunities presented by this   
   difficulty remained hidden to business until the both government, backed by   
   the Stern report, and people, backed by the environmental argument, rumbled   
   them. So much for our Masters Of The Universe.   
      
   This is a very difficult situation but the growth obsessed, winner takes   
   all, and inefficient American attitude may be trimmed in time, as other   
   countries improve themselves in similar or other ways. There will be some   
   pain but, overall, I don't think there's anything to sweat about.
