The Senate voted 95-0 against Kyoto. Yet Clinton signed it anyway. Good to know that Enron got its money's worth.

Kyoto would have imposed huge costs with no known concrete benefit. Just a huge transfer of wealth from the US to other countries and a huge disadvantage to US industry.

Kyoto probably would have done more to de-industrialize the US than anything the Left has ever done.

Cource no one can make money "traiding CO2 credits" unless government slaps restrictions on producers. The case for the need of implementing such draconian restrictions has not been made. To this day.

We could also pass a law requiring all corporations to dig and fill up 1000 miles of ditches every year. Then a very profitable "free market" in ditch credits could spring up. This would be as asinine as the CO2 credit market though.
