Frank, thanks for the nice column, which I agree with more than you might think. Inasmuch as I'm not an academic, I tend to think on a more practical vein. The Kyoto proposals could have been made more workable and more equitable by simple standards related to individual efforts to cut back on the worst of the CO2 emissions, based in part on practical, achievable standards, and partly on economic wherewithal. The main problem with the original proposal was to give too many concessions to lesser developed countries, whose pollution controls are often nonexistent, and where it would be easy and relatively inexpensive to obtain major improvements. The other main problem is that the largest contributor of greenhouse gases had nothing intelligent to say. Art
