I wonder if there are libertarians on both sides of the Kyoto treaty issue?

I guess I'd have to say there are, but only because there are a lot of libertarians with a lot of different ideas, and "on both sides" could apply both to people who support the Kyoto treaty enthusiastically and consider it as a perfect solution (few if any libertarians would fall under that category) all the way to people who think that global warming is a serious menace, and in the real world something like the treaty is the only realistic way to deal with it in time.

A libertarian would in most cases oppose expanding state power and control (and implementation of the Kyoto treaty would require states to increase control), but someone who does support an expansion of state power and control in one particular area could still be considered a libertarian if generally they where for reducing state power and control.
