You seem to be totally missing the point. Clinton had the US Ambassador sign the treaty AFTER the Senate had passed a resolution NOT TO RATIFY KYOTO. Do you understand the signifigance of that? I know you live in a beachfront feudal fairyland, but try please.

>>The US signed Kyoto.<<

"The US" didn't sign the treaty. An ambassador signed the treaty. It won't be binding until it is signed by a President and ratified by two thirds of the Senate.

Even my kids know that, but I wouldn't expect you to, since you never studied US government.

>>I cannot believe you call yourself a counsellor.<<

One of the things lawyers have to do is tell people things they don't want to hear.

Blaming the messenger is a common logical fallacy.

zonder, this is a tempest in a teapot. I was using "signed" in the general sense of "become a signatory to," which requires both signing and ratification under US law.
