CB, you and LB are going to disturb her rest by saying those truths.... Actually, I'm surprised just how many people and of course, the press of the world don't know that Clinton didn't sign it, and the Senate didn't ratify it....

Last year. the Bush administration signaled U.S. unwillingness to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, which the U.S. signed in 1997 and which sets limits on emissions of greenhouse gases, citing unreasonable targets and possible harm to the U.S. economy. Despite the U.S. position, enough countries have ratified the protocol so that it will enter into force if Russia follows through on its recent commitment to ratify. uscib.org cnn.com et cetera ad nauseam. I fear that the fine points of US law are lost upon you but present it anyway because hope springs eternal. And your sarcasm is wasted on me, lady. Why don't you just ignore me again?

In case you miss this, here it is again. Message 18328015 I fear that the fine points of US law are lost upon you but present it anyway because hope springs eternal. Well, perhaps because this is not a fine point of US law. It is fairly simple. The US signed Kyoto. Then did not ratify, but that is another matter, one that I never contested. I cannot believe you call yourself a counsellor. US is listed as a signatory in the Kyoto Protocol. Can you read? unfccc.int
