Regarding said Kyoto Treaty...(you can tell the leaders of the world that this factual information comes straight from none other than Ben Wa who has seen the future)..Let us say that implimentation of the Kyoto Treaty costs...mmmmm around $400 billion present value dollars. As we know, one theory is that CO2 levels have risen due to the burning of fossil fuels. It seems that the creators of the Kyoto Accord were not aware of the "Hubbard Curve", which when combined with knowledge about fossil fuel deposits, discovery growth rates, and usage growth rates, can tell us when the oil including that which is not yet been tapped, plainly runs out. For your particular planet, that is roughly the year 2050. On my planet, we tend to look at enironmental issues in terms of extended time frames. In fact, we have observed your Kyoto effort and realize that like many fairy tails, the story sounds charming. Centuries ago though, my home world experienced a situation similar to your earth. Our choice was to spend a quarter of our money trying to make our fossil fuel technology cleaner, but then we realized that by the time we perfected our systems, there would not be any fossil fuels left to try it out on! It was then that we realized how silly we all were. Instead, we spent a tiny fraction of the money that our politicians wanted us to spend on cleaner ways to burn dead things(we have politicians too)on creating controlled fusion reactors (150 earth years ago), biomass matter/energy conversion, solar power, and additional non-fossil based systems.
