Before Al Gore, as vice president, signed the treaty in 1997, the Senate voted 95-0 against backing any deal that did not include developing countries such as India and China. The Kyoto agreement has never been presented to the Senate for ratification.

<<"Unless all 95 senators who voted against Kyoto " I've heard this referenced many times in the last few days...help me out, exactly what did the bill say that was voted on ...even better do you have a reference to the bill?? >> First, all treaties have to be ratified by the Senate. The President can sign what he wants but it's not a bona fide treaty until the Senate ratifies it. Now here's a blurb on the bill and why Clinton never sent it to the Senate- During the summer, the Senate voted 95 to 0 to assert its opposition to any treaty that endangers the U.S. economy and spares developing countries from constraints imposed on developed nations. ee That's zero votes for the wording of the Kyoto Treaty. Daschele and Lieberman can whine all they like but they didn't vote to let it be passed.
