"First.......do you think because 95 people voted against Kyoto that that makes everything okay?" I think it makes the treaty a worthless piece of paper in the US. That's not what I asked. "Secondly, the WH policy has been influenced by an oil company." WH policy on the subject is irrelevant. Oil company opinions are irrelevant. The Senate rejected the treaty back in the 1990's. You want the WH to disregard US law and impose a treaty not a single Senator would vote for. The way our system works is treaties are ratified by the Senate. Our country is governed by our laws, which ratified treaties become. Our country is not governed by the whims of liberals who think they know what is good for us. (Well at least it shouldn't be.) Yeah. We've seen how your party respects the law. And we've seen how Texans think they know what's best for the country. My only comment........have you all thought about exercising your right to secede? "Does that not concern you at all at a time when global warming is a real issue and the price of oil is going through the roof?" IMO we'll know whether global warming is a real concern a few hundred years from now. BTW, you should be happy the price of oil is going through the roof as that discourages consumption. Yes, I forgot.....neocons don't bother with the facts. Will you let me know what you think after you've read your tea leaves. "Thirdly, this country needs to own up to how much it consumes." Public knowledge. In time China and India will consume more than we do. Yes, some time in the next 50 years but I was talking about 2005. At the present time, we use up 25% of the world's resources and I believe we make up 5% of the world's population. BTW the Kyoto treaty would have allowed that - apparently only American, European, Japanese carbon emissions cause global warming. Yes, until the developing nations reach a certain level and then they too are effected by Kyoto.
