You will get no argument from me on that point.
And... even its proponents say that the Kyoto Protocol is merely Step One, and that it doesn't do very much about global warming. The primary benefit that they cite is the precedent for better treaties/protocols that actually might do something about global warming. The only ones that I would advocate at present would be treaties that have controls on black soot emissions and methane as well as CO2.
Did they include the loss of carbon dioxide to oxygen transfer because of these dead trees?
