Without international participation, jobs and emissions will simply shift overseas to countries that require few, if any, environmental protections, harming the global environment as well as the U.S. economy.

If the EPA continues unabated, jobs will be shipped to China and India as energy costs skyrocket. Most of the media attention has focused on the EPA's efforts to regulate climate-change emissions, but that is just the beginning.

I think we can lower our emissions. I think the world will be better off if we did that, and we can do it without cap and trade.

Yet in this global economy, no jobs are safe. High-speed Internet connections and low-cost, skilled labor overseas are an explosive combination.

So, there is enormous instability in the global economy with a shift of winners and losers.

Cinema has become a global economy, totally international.
