Mironov Tells Kyoto Experts The World Is Getting Cooler
By Simon Shuster
Staff WriterSergei Mironov
ST. PETERSBURG -- It was a failure from the start. Russia's biggest conference on the Kyoto Protocol, which aims to fight global warming, began with a speech from a top official who denied that global warming even exists.
"In reality, the scientific basis for the protocol is fairly weak," Federation Council Speaker Sergei Mironov told a crowded opening session of the two-day conference Thursday, which drew more than 200 environmental experts and carbon market participants from around the world. "In the opinion of many experts, the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere does not have any effect on the climate."
On this point, Mironov stands on the fringes of global scientific opinion.

All the ‘60’s potheads still living in northern California, now able to smoke pot “legally,” definitely agree that the world is getting cooler, man.
They could do far worse things than plant trees. If there were a choice between the usual curriculum today and planting trees, I would say proceed with the latter.
Not for any feel-good reason, but for sheer experience - hands on - in something other than paper shuffling and word-surfeit(acation.
This could be the veritable high point of their academic investment.
The children might actually have the opportunity to use that ancient tool - the shovel. Might be useful some day....
Ssssshh. Don’t tell Laurie David. Her head will explode.
