Tim,
Re<<The Kyoto treaty is not regulation nor was it law in the US because it was never ratified by congress.>>
The Congressional vote was VERY bipartisan - 97 to 0 - so neither "side" should be doing any honest finger-pointing, methinks. :)
As to any degree of public concern re. the subject at the time, scroll down on this site to see one measure of the degree of interest of the American public at the time people-press.org
The results are interesting, even if one chooses to question their complete accuracy.

Apathy is the common denominator of our population, clearly demonstrated by the ever-dwindling voter turnout year after year, regardless of how many and/or how much we will all bitch and whine "after the fact" ~
