Now to the balancing act the industrial greats have to perform when it comes to growth and the environment. The latest U-N climate talks have kicked off in Doha, following a warning from German environment minister, Peter Altmaier, that the world's WAY off track in battling global warming. Since 1990, carbon-dioxide emissions have DOUBLED in Europe. In China... quadrupled. And the irony is.. that the world's most polluting state PER HEAD, Qatar, is HOSTING this climate change conference. Activists are calling for the region to shed its fixation with oil.
