Its political theatre that is at least trying to do something about reducing pollution. Would you rather have nothing at all? Sometimes you've got to look at things in a less cynical light and try and help rather than hinder the attempt for progress.

Kyoto may be sham in terms of addressing pollution, but that doesn't mean it isn't building something for real on the political front - something being pushed by the once-and-former-Marxists as "progress" in international law. Something designed to grab the power of regulation over the economic development of the entire globe, and be accountable to just about nobody.

I'd very much rather do "nothing". It would be far less counter-productive. Meantime the rise in oil prices will do far more to fight pollution than all the bureaucrats put together. As we can see from the way they run their talking fests, they can't even pretend like they believe it's a crisis. Or if it is, it is for the "little people" to make sacrifices, not themselves. Pure soviet apparatchik style.
