President Bush has been castigated by the environmental lobby for his refusal to participate in the Kyoto Protocol. But what isn’t brought up is that from 2000-2006, the United States “net greenhouse gas emissions fell 3%.” From 1997-2004, our emissions rose 6%. The nations participating in Kyoto? Not so good:

…during the last decade the United States has had the best record among industrialized nations in restraining GHG emissions. Between 1997 and 2004, the last year for which comparative data are available: —global GHG emissions increased 18 percent; —emissions from Kyoto Protocol participants increased 21.1 percent; —emissions from non-Kyoto nations increased 10 percent; —emissions from the United States increased 6.6 percent. (h/t Q and O)

There is massive fraud, waste and abuse in the Kyoto system also. For example, the countries committed to Kyoto “have paid more than €4.7 billion to eliminate an obscure greenhouse gas called HFC-23.” However, the cost of the necessary incinerators is less than €100 million. Where did the rest go? “Most of the difference in such schemes goes to the foreign government, such as China’s communist regime.”
