Someone should explain to these Mayors that a Treaty has to be ratified by the US Senate as set forth in the US Constitution, a document they have obviously lost touch with.

Kyoto, isn't about pollution. It is about controlling
production and it is about taxing.
Kyoto would have given the UN the ability to restrict electrical output from electrical generators as well as restrict manufacturing, if either exceeded the allowable amount of gasses, it would be 'fined' read taxed, and that tax/fine would go to the UN, thus providing a source of income. Are these mayors looking for another source of funding without the treaty? And secondarily I thought only congress could ratify treaties, is this a way for states to adhere to treaties not ratified? To what end? For what purpose? Many are sheep others wolves in sheep clothing.
