Gore needs to read the US Constitution. Treaties need to be ratified by the US Senate. Even Clinton knew better than to bring this up...

I just don't understand why we would want the world telling us how to control our environment. I am not completely against assisting a bit with preservation, but to have the World tell us is going to cause way too much unnecessary bs. Look how we are with the forests and woods. The environmentals in America tell us not to have forced fires and look what happens - MASSIVE fires. It would be worse with the World telling us how to control every aspect of our environment. I hope whoever the President is they will tell them no. I know that Republicans are doing very well, but someday (50-100 years from now) we might have a democratic President agains and we don't want them joining that wacko group either. Let it go. We can preserve the environment on our own.

The Kyoto Protocols will not help slow global warming. They will only restrict the US.

[kevkrom]

If I recall, the U.S. Senate voted 95-0 against the Kyoto treaty.

Speaking in Helsinki on Tuesday, Gore said that he had discussed the matter with an unnamed key researcher for the Bush Administration

Sure he did.....

Why? So we can start transferring money to Russia like the Europeans do? I fail to see what that has to do with emissions.

[Prysson]

Yes...but I REALLY hope he runs in 08.

There's a " Caption this " thread of that pic Here

In the immortal words of Bryant Gumball: "What a F***ing Idiot!"

"unnamed key researcher"

How does a man without a name get a job in the first place, let alone one in the Bush Administration?

[Comstock1]

I take it you aren't familiar with his "... no controlling authority..." line? Why let a little thing like the Constitution get in the way?

[Ole Okie]

If I recall, the U.S. Senate voted 95-0 against the Kyoto treaty.

Unfortunately, that was a "Sense of the Senate" vote rather than a ratification vote.

Sick Willie didn't have the gonads to submit it for ratification, because he knew it would sink faster than the eye can blink.

Headline should read:

"Gore Promises NO NEW JOBS!"

If only they wrote headlines for Liberals, the same way they do for Republicans.......

You need to read up on current events. NAFTA was ratified with less than 2/3 of Senators voting for it. The Constitution is a living breathing document, it means what our rulers want it to.

It is nothing short of a miracle that this heavily-medicated fruitbat who listens to the voices in his head did not become President of the United States.

[seanmerc]

That ain't all he suffers from.
