Beam me to Planet Gore !

The 1997 Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012, after surviving 15 years, mostly spent on life support. It reached its peak in Bali in 2007 at the annual UN gabfest, had a sudden unexpected collapse in Copenhagen in 2009, and has been in a coma since.
Kyoto had its real beginning at the 1992 Global Climate Summit in Rio de Janeiro. I missed that great party but George Bush the elder went and signed up for the United States. The language of the Global Climate Treaty, the Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC), was vague enough to not be completely objectionable -- although we should have known better than to let the camel's nose enter the tent. It has prejudiced the subsequent discussion by focusing only on anthropogenic global warming (AGW).
The 1997 Protocol, negotiated in Kyoto, Japan, tried to put teeth into the FCCC. And its bite was strong enough so that the United States never ratified it -- even during the Clinton-Gore years in the White House.

I thought this was going to be another earthquake/tsunami thread.
The Bali meeting could have been made into a Marx Brothers movie. They had hundreds of private jets flying into Bali and there wasn’t enough parking so they made them take off after an hour and actually park at other islands in the region. Toss in the five-star hotel deals, the booze, the private parties that you had to have a pass for, and this turned into some comic opera that made no sense. I suspect at the conclusion of that meeting...around ten percent of the attendees woke up and realized the comic nature of these meetings.
Actually, to repeat a comment I just made on another thread:
“You wanna bet that some green freak will try to blame the quake on the US as some sort of delayed reaction to the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945, perhaps?
“They’ll say something like, ‘The explosions set off a slow but inevitable tectonic chain reaction which eventually led to the events of the past week.’”
I love anticipating liberal idiocies.
Well it won’t matter after 2012 anyway.
The New World Order leaders hold finding a substitute for war that unifies and subjugates the people under them as their #1 priority.
Right now they are abandoning anthropogenic global warming in favor of terrorism. It’s much more like war, so they said, “Let’s call it ‘The War On Terrorism’ and don’t tell them we are (or create) the terrorists.
Only if they nominate any of the re-run clowns, then captain zero has a clear shot. After how the last election turned out, there might not even be a 2012.
so, now can we get back the CFC asthma inhalers that actually worked?

That must be why Obama tried to get it passed and strengthened, but was told to stuff it by China and India -- arch-enemies who banded together to oppose it.
Global Warming on Free Republic
Wrong hoax. That one is the one where if you use refrigerants that are in the public domain because DuPont's patents have expired, you'll blow a hole in the ozone. Only the new ones, still under DuPont's control can save life on earth. Especially puppies.
Me, too.
Since then, they "discovered" that refrigerants are supposedly ALSO implicated in global warming, so even the ones useless enough to have survived the previous hoax are still treated like live Ebola virus.
Apologies, my major error!
CFC’s were banned in the Montreal protocol hoax which had merged in my memory with the Kyoto protocol. Possibly because, as you wrote, it was ‘discovered’ that those chemicals that ‘depleted’ the ozone hole also were implicated in globull warming, but also because the replacement HFA asthma inhalers propellants have since been implicated in globull warming.
