The Kyoto treaty was DOA from the very beginning because there was no way that the Senate would ever ratify it, either under President Bush or President Clinton. Presidents can't unilaterally sign treaties and put them into effect. They have to be ratified and Kyoto won't be -- ever.

China is the worst threat to the Kyoto Protocol, yet the UN made sure China was exempt from it. Clinton did reject it, as did Bush. Protecting the earth is not without merit, but Kyoto is more about radical and extremist economic and global control than it is about the earth. Al Gore tried to use it in his campaign against Bush and even made a mock public pretense of signing it (implying Bush's refusal to endorse it, when even Al's own Commander in Chief would not do it).
