The only Americans that are going for this are the steaming pile of Socialists, EnvironMentalists and the Art Bell crowd!!!
Washington under growing domestic pressure on climate change
The US government is coming under increasing pressure from its own companies to sign up to the Kyoto protocol on climate change, EU Environment Commissioner Margot Wallstroem said.
Slowly but steadily things are also changing in the US, she told reporters. It is coming from the bottom up. There are also big American companies or multinational companies (which) look to Europe. They understand that they will have to do something about greenhouse (gas) emissions and climate change.
There is a completely different scenario and political understanding of this problem, the Swedish official said. US President George W Bush in one of his first acts on taking office, turned his back on the Kyoto protocol in March 2001 arguing the commitments it enforced on industrialised nations would be too costly for the US economy.
After the US withdrawal, Russia now holds the agreements future in its hands under its complex ratification arithmetic. Under the protocol, countries are supposed to slash their emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in a bid to stop the warming of the earths atmosphere. In February the US Defense Department downplayed a report on climate change that it had commissioned that warned that abrupt climate change could bring the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries war over dwindling resources.
Wallstroem said: But from the administration of course we have no other signals... But ultimately, they will have to and especially if a majority of countries around the world will actually ratify the Kyoto protocol. afp

Wallstrom said U.S. companies and states were showing a commitment to reducing emissions that hurt the environment. She cited an initiative among some northeastern U.S. states and provinces of Canada to start an emissions trading system as an example of the change.
Are you in favor of this pantload?

Are you ok? Seriously, are you???
Brokers gather to trade emissions credits
I wonder if this means that they were grading each other's fratulence on a environmental scale of 1-10.

Can you say dot.com bubble?
Sooner or later they are going to decide that all those billions of Carbon Dioxide emitters (people) are going to have to be cut back to "save the planet".
I had nacturnal emmissions once. I never dreamed anyone would want to trade 'em in for anything...
Well, I guess they forgot to mention that India and China and a bunch of other big emitters would "remain outside the treaty". Just an oversight I guess.
WHEW! You had me worried for a minute, there!!! You kept posting excerps of this tripe without any comment of your own as to your opinion and I thought maybe you were pushing it like Art Bell and George Norrie just to see how much of this pungent recycled horse manure we would take before giving you a required revolting response!!!
