Ah yes. Well, if you remember, when Clinton was president, there was a Republican majority in Congress. So it was Republicans who lead us away from Kyoto.

Clinton was not a man to walk away from the table. He is someone who stays engaged in any debate. Walking away and damning the consequences is a far-right trait, most recently exemplified by Bush and Cheney.

So why do you know so little? You should have remembered that Republicans owned Congress when Clinton was President.

Here's a history lesson on Clinton, Kyoto, and the Republican Congress that blocked Clinton. This is written by a Republican, so it has a Republican bias to it, which I'm sure will suit you just fine:

And fyi, I actually, agree that we should not sign the Kyoto accords in their current state without China and India signing on. However, I DO NOT agree with the tactic of walking away and refusing to negotiate. That's no diplomacy, that is pig-headedness that leads to nowhere but confrontation. Instead, we need to stay engaged and figure out how to bring China and India to the table as signatories. The US simply cannot abdicate its role in this.
