kenny, kyoto was abject stupidity. Anyone who is against abject stupidity should be elated that such stupidity was defeated.

This report should even be understandable by a technology ignoramus. In fact I think it was written with lawyers in mind. It's author Patrick J. Michaels has been writing on global warming issues for years.

kenny any person who reads the above and cannot understand just how stupid kyoto is, is clearly and idiot.

Here is the bibliography of this excellent report.
