Kyoto Crapola
Al Gore’s old chief of staff Roy Neel was on the TV a while ago, telling Gwen Ifill how terrible it is that the Bush Administration doesn’t support the Kyoto Protocol.
But what thinking American would?
The two most populous nations on Earth —China and India— are signatories to Kyoto, but are under no obligation to reduce their carbon emissions. And since such emissions are the ultimate cause of the greenhouse effect that Kyoto seeks to ameliorate, then there really isn’t any value to America becoming a full partner to such an agreement.
Kyoto is just a mechanism by which our country would be subjected to the controls of the United Nations. Forget that.
