At least twice, when we've been discussing global climate change, I've mentioned that the basis for the
Kyoto Protocol was established with the active participation of pappy Bush but you never reacted to that tidbit and I don't know if the point got across.

You did get the point across, I just had no response. Pushing myself to get one now I would say that this fact would not bind GW any more then if Clinton, or Reagan, or Carter had made the inital commitment. If there is a ratified treaty then the US has made a commitment. Otherwise the commitment is only the personal commitment of the current president, who does not have the authority to bind future presidents to his commitment.
