Apparently, the Kyoto Protocol would not be the negative that so many Bush adherents claimed it would be. The cap and trade proposal talked about in the article would help contain the costs, but I think this study over estimates how much it would do so. Even this study talks about estimates approaching .5% of GDP (or more for example than we are spending on military operations in Iraq), but I don't see these estimates as being any more accurate than the initial estimates of the cost of Medicare. Still if the US is going to make regulatory changes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions this looks like the way to do it. Tim
