the kyoto treaty was design to target US, and not anyone else since there is not punishment to those who fail to meet the target

I remember the uproar from the media when whenever Kyoto Treaty and Bush were mentioned. They blame Bush for all the problem. They’re letting OBama off the hook as usual. This is how corrupt the media is. It never been about the environment

[Gene Eric]

Exactly. His “political capital” is overdrawn.

"...the fanatics are still working on AGENDA 21 to push for U.N. dominance over America."

YEP...from the bottom up....cities, counties..... Bay/others....want to know more? Listen to our Agenda 21 show on www.ISPYONSALEM.com (It's an indepth discussion of the issue with Tom DeWeese of American Policy Center who has been following it for years)

The real “emission” these control freaks want is money from your
earnings “redistributed” to their bank accounts. The “environment”
is simply the panic du jour to advance their money grabbing agenda.
Liars, frauds and leeches dressed in finery. Expel them wherever they
are discovered.

Obama’s policies are so yesterday.

[metesky]

The US, the second-largest carbon emitter, signed the protocol in 1997 but in 2001 the then president, George W. Bush, said he would not put it to the Senate for ratification.

Ernest, the msm's sad case of BDS always leads them to "forget" to mention that under Clinton (1997), in a sense of the Senate vote, the US Senate voted 97-0 against Kyoto.

Exactly. Ubama is using his evil twin Lisa Jackson at EPA to terrorize and extort (It’s the Chicago way) our productive sectors and our energy producers. With no carbon taxes, no carbon trading and no Kyoto Treaty, Ubama and Jackson must make their eco-zealots constituencies happy in other ways

[corlorde]

Exactly.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Canada (under PM Harper) does the right thing, AGAIN.

[Clive]

Canada is one of the four.

Wait a minute..........I thought Bush's refusal to accept this treaty caused Katrina.

Why would anyone diss Kyoto? I'm sooooo confused.... ;*)

[dynachrome]

Good news, indeed!

[Alberta's Child]

Nobody twisted Obama's arm on this . . . U.S. politics simply kicked him in the face.

There wasn't a chance in hell that the U.S. Senate would ever have ratified the treaty (they rejected the first Kyoto accord by a vote of something like 98-0), and with most of the U.S. coming out of its worst winter in decades the Obama administration would have been seen as a complete joke if it ever signed onto the second Kyoto accord.

[Marine_Uncle]

Always nice to get some good news.... thanks.

[Nervous Tick]

>> May the corpse of the UN rest in the sands of the sea, so far out that they will never be seen again.

That’s like music to my ears. Poetry, even.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Good. Maybe these countries will go further and give up on their own greenhouse gas restriction plans.

He had himself set up to be the first trillionaire in the cap and trade commodies scam. Man, he gave it his all.
