 | | Industrial energy consumption in the developing countries was nearly 40 percent of the worldwide industrial sector total in 2001, and their share is projected to increase to almost one-half of all industrial sector energy consumption by 2025 as a result of the more rapid economic growth expected in the region. | | | Industrialized countries accounted for one-half of all energy consumption in the industrial sector worldwide in 2001, and the United States accounted for one-half of the total in the industrialized countries. | | | Conversely, strong economic growth in industrial countries is expected to include continued growth in business activity, with its associated energy use, in areas such as retail and wholesale trade and business, financial, and leisure services. |

| | Industrialized Nations Under Pressure at UN Global Warming Gathering -- 10/26/1999 |
| | (CNSNews.com) - The United States and other industrialized countries are coming under pressure at a major United Nations conference on global warming underway in Germany, with both the host nation and the UN calling for a deadline on implementing a pact aimed at reducing pollution. | | | Officials from the U.S. and European Union countries differed Monday on one of several "flexibility mechanisms" built into the process - the right of industrialized nations to buy pollution "credits" from developing countries. | | | Controversially, the Kyoto Protocol makes no demands on most of the countries of the world, which are defined as "developing," but include such rapidly industrializing countries as China. |

| | A mutually supporting set of macroeconomic, structural and sectoral policies are needed to meet this twofold challenge, along with a commitment by fiscal and monetary actors at both the national and international level to keep employment promotion as a central focus of their action. | | | • The national labour and employer organizations must be able to demonstrate convincingly to their rank and file the benefits to be derived from the compromises. | | | G7 employment is now rising more rapidly than their labour force, but if present trends continue, industrialized countries are unlikely to absorb the backlog of unemployment currently confronting them under present policies, the report adds. |

| | Looking to the rising part of both curves, it can be seen other industrial nations started their rise before the US, but then the US 'put on the steam' of government spending at an even faster rate - - as if the U.S. was trying to 'catch-up' with the spending ratios of others. | | | Let's restate: all major industrialized national world economies are significantly (5-10 times) more government-spending-dependent than ever before in their peace-time history - - and that increase is almost entirely social entitlement spending. | | | The upper black curve is the average of the 16 major industrial nations, including the USA from 1870 to 1996. |

| | Key to the U.S. agreement to such a relatively ambitious target was a concurrent agreement that a system of emissions trading among industrialized countries be established, by which nations with binding limits could buy and sell among themselves the right to release greenhouse gases. | | | At COP-1 in Berlin, Germany, in March 1995, the participating nations issued the so-called Berlin Mandate, which acknowledged that the voluntary approach had failed and agreed that there would have to be binding commitments by the industrialized countries to reduce their emissions of heat-trapping gases sometime after the year 2000. | | | Nevertheless, these steps forward were opposed by some powerful members of the developing country bloc, which consider it the moral duty of industrialized nations to begin by reducing their emissions at home rather than engaging in international emissions trading and pushing for limits on developing countries. |

| | But they also agreed that these nations would need financial assistance and technology transfer from industrialized nations to control emissions without sacrificing economic development, said Walter Reid, vice-president of the World Resources Institute, who attends the international meetings as a nonvoting party. | | | As part of the Rio pact, the country leaders, recognizing the great disparity between the economies of developing and industrialized nations, agreed to "common but differential responsibilities" from the developing nations. | | | In addition to admitting that most of the greenhouse gases have been generated by sources in industrialized nations, participants at the Rio convention realized that the increase in fossil fuel use in developing nations is tied to fulfilling basic human needs, said Reid. |

| | What all this means is that, if the exports of these countries are cut off, in all likelihood their imports from industrialized nations will shrink as well, making the net effect on the industrialized nations negative instead of positive, though of course some specific sectors may gain. | | | Second, the products manufactured in the worst conditions, often using child labor, are not the sectors in which there is any serious competition between the industrialized nations and the developing countries. | | | In 1995 Korea's exports to the industrialized nations constituted 12.3 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP), while its imports from the industrialized nations were 13.9 percent of its GDP.(1) In brief, relative to industrialized nations, Korea ran a trade deficit of 1.6 percent. |

| | "The fastest-growing part of the world economy is in the developing world, not in the industrialized nations," said Robert Miller, senior consultant to the International Finance Corporation (IFC), an arm of the World Bank. | | | Traditionally, international aid and development organizations as well as economic think tanks have divided the "have" and "have not" nations into two camps: the relatively rich industrialized nations of the North and the poorer, less-developed nations of the South. | | | UN economist Barry Herman noted that the level of development assistance flowing from North to South is dropping, leaving countries that are unattractive to foreign investors — such as nations in post-conflict situations, or those where per capita income is very low — in dire straits. |

| | Participation by all industrialized nations was deemed essential, so each nation agreed to its own target, and targets vary widely from country to country. | | | The most crucial of the deferred decisions are how and when developing nations will commit to limiting their emissions, how the flexibility mechanisms for achieving reductions will actually be implemented, and how the agreements will be enforced. | | | Emissions reductions since 1990 due to economic decline in the former Soviet-bloc nations mean they will have many emissions credits to sell. |

| | Discussion Points: |
| | The real down side of this relationship is that peripheral nations educational systems and professional service systems are not advanced as they basically become suppliers of raw materials to and consumers of finished goods from industrial nations. | | | Also important is the role of nations that serve as centers for production for simple goods and components that will later be combined or assembled in industrialized nations. | | | Also important, here is the notion that the industrialized nations act aggressively to keep the peripheral nations dependent upon them by not allowing them to evolve into developed nations(conflict theory). |
