But I thought the treaty went forward without the US. I thought part of the rationale for the New Zealand Cow Flatulence tax was to be compliant with Kyoto.
Yes, to the extent that a bunch of socialist governments are acting as though it has some validity and justifies some nonsense like that you cited, I think you are right. However, I know that as of April 2001, no country had ratified the Treaty although many had signed it. I don't know what's happened since then because I don't care any more.
Take care.
