You don't have to think the Kyoto treaty is a bad idea (even though it is) to think that his comments were correct. Even someone who strongly supports the agenda and assumptions behind Kyoto might agree with the statement. "I also think there will be a need to be realistic about environmental targets. While the political commitment to the Kyoto process and targets is quite strong in Europe, attaining those targets is going to be very challenging, given the energy supply and demand realities. That is why a reality check may be needed regarding the attainment of those targets." The right is prepared to spend whatever it will take to prove that Iraq can be democratic.........a dubious enterprise at best. Not surprising, they turn around and warn that the goals of Kyoto may not be attainable [and what's not said........that is, we are not willing to spend the money to insure they will be attainable]. Exxon is a one trick pony where hydrocarbons are its primary source of business. Kyoto wants to reduce the destruction of hydrocarbons in the world. The goals of Kyoto are very attainable but in the process they may hurt Exxon's profits. Therefore, Exxon will talk down Kyoto. And the GOP president listens to Exxon. ted
