(U.S will have to join Kyoto)

Over my dead body.

[kromike]

Over my one-ply square of toilet paper....

[longtermmemmory]

Canada just dumped Kyoto.

Reminds me of the stargate,sg1 episode where the majority of society was kept toiling in subsistance factories and propagandized for communal suffering and sacrifice while the rest of the world lived in elitist entitlement.

IOW only the little people will be forced to pay the price for the elites.

[Badeye]

From the same organization that gave us ‘Oil for Food’?

No thanks. My dogs are brighter than most at the UN.

And they don’t embezzle from me.....

[PeaceBeWithYou]

Kyoto is dead Canada cans Kyoto

[Brilliant]

They could have had the US join Kyoto, but they chose not to. All they had to do is make it a balanced treaty instead of placing all of the burden of greenhouse gas reduction on the US.

[beethovenfan]

Stand by to pay the “Carbon Tax”!!!

[saganite]

Under a best-case scenario for heading off severe damage, the global economy might lose as little as 3 percentage points of growth by 2030

No one ever achieves the best case scenario. What’s the worst case? 50%? That would be the more likely outcome.

[Cementjungle]

...via carbon taxes...

The primary goal.

[NavyCanDo]

Notice the use of the words “Climate Change” rather the Global Warming in more and more of these stories? When you have much of the North East recovering from a brutal early spring snow storm, it’s hard to convince anyone global warning is a serious issue.

[finnman69]

I read the IPCC is revising their forecasted sea level rise to something like 0.5M or less, not 6M.

[HighlyOpinionated]

To avoid Global Warming and signing Kyoto, the USofA must pay Al Gore's London-based employee-owned company, Generation Investment Management (GIM), for all of the USofA Carbon Offsets in order to keep on using fuel as normal.

It's always about money and in this case, what's good for the 'savior of the earth' is good enough for the USofA.

It's about fuel, fool. (say that 3 times really fast)

PS I'm not calling anyone here 'fool' that term is directed to AlGore, the creater of the internet, global warming, and GIM (see above).

The Bush administration rejected the protocol's mandatory cuts

Repeat it often enough, people will believe it. The Senate said it wouldn't ratify Kyoto back in 1998, and Clinton never submitted it. Bush also simply refused to submit it. The reason for everyone not going along is that it gives a free pass to "developing" nations like China (which will, as a Kyoto country, surpass us in CO2 in 2010).

IOW, to put this on Bush's head is a flat-out lie meant to make it look like he doesn't care about the environment.

[P-40]

China and other poorer developing countries were exempted from the 1997 pact, but most expected growth in greenhouse emissions will come from the developing world.

Unless they are subject to the same constraints as everyone else, what is the point? Do we really want to see our industry keep moving to where it is cheaper because of the lack of environmental controls?

[TheDon]

One wonders what the biggest threat of our age will be, Muslim Fundamentalism or Environmental Fundamentalism. The Muslims have a head start, but the Environmentalists are having a better success rate in the West.

[ApplegateRanch]

manure controls

Fer Gawd's sakes!

I is already gots an outhouse and sack of lime; wha' more does they wants from me?

Sounds laik jes' another way tah pick honest men's pockets!

[Old Professer]

If they got a tax on carbon we could start seeing reductions in growth of total CO2 levels as quickly as they could get the instruments reprogrammed.

When the reductions become reversed, around the time the money is spent, we will have to pony up a few bucks more.

This should last us (them) until a new generation of idiots can be born.

[GiovannaNicoletta]

The one-worlders can’t have their utopia until they destroy America.

[50mm]

U.N. Scientists to lay out ways to curb worst of climate change (U.S. will have to destroy all their vehicles and air conditioners and give the UN the keys to the U.S. treasury)

There! Fixed the title!

[techcor]

by embracing technologies ranging from nuclear power

This alone will do it. Nothing else would be needed. And the Bush administration supports nuclear power but the Democrats are against it. Funny how no one in the "corporately biased" (as the liberals call the MSM) point that out.
