Here is something interesting for you.



An article on the Kyoto treaty says it will do this:

If the U.S. agrees to adhere to new regulations under the treaty, while emerging economies are exempted, global warming hysteria will:

1.Increase the cost of living, forcing U.S. consumers to pay more for electricity (40-50 percent in some parts of the country) and other consumer goods, since electricity costs are reflected in the production costs of almost all goods and services;

2.Reduce American wages each year by 5 percent to 10 percent;

3.Devastate strategic U.S. industries, such as the steel, aluminum, chemical, pulp and paper, coal and cement industries, which also includes many large employers;

4.Encourage energy-intensive U.S. industries to move out of the U.S. to exempted countries like Mexico and Indonesia -- to any country beyond the reach of America's environmental police -- causing the additional loss of tens of thousands of high-skilled, high-wage jobs.


Even the Kyoto treaty has not been ratified, it sure is odd that all this is happening in spite of this treaty not getting "ratified".
