Kyoto needed to be tweaked, not dumped like Bush did. When Bush refused to in any way limit pollution after stealing the Florida election in 2000 that was the first real evidence he was not only a huge liar, but deeply in the pockets of the oil-chemical business, and that he would never change. The big energy gouging began the day after Bush-Cheney were first nominated and only stopped on two occasions, when Dems regains the senate in 2001 and last month when senators started talking about windfall profits taxes. meanwhile Bushie energy companies have stolen some 500 billion dollars from us all.

It did come up for a vote moron, look it up. Man you don't know a thing about anything. Do you read? How can anyone be so stupid on EVERY subject, no wonder you are a brainwashed liberal If you did your homework and stopped screwing around with your Xbox, you might not come off looking so stupid. "On July 25, 1997, before the Kyoto Protocol was to be negotiated, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed by a 95–0 vote the Byrd-Hagel Resolution (S. Res. 98), which stated the sense of the Senate was that the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol that did not include binding targets and timetables for developing as well as industrialized nations or "would result in serious harm to the economy of the United States". On November 12, 1998, Vice President Al Gore symbolically signed the protocol. Aware of the Senate's view of the protocol, the Clinton Administration never submitted the protocol for ratification." en.wikipedia.org

Dupont Proves Bushies Wrong, Cuts Pollution, Saves $$$$ (* Whenever you hear Bushies tell the BIG LIE that cutting pollution costs jobs and hurts our economy, remember who's paying them to say that, the dishonest polluters themselves) DuPont Proves the Bush Administration Wrong (10 comments ) READ MORE: Global Warming, George W. Bush A T-shirt worn by a young protester at the climate conference in Montreal read: “Stop asking how much it will cost you, and start asking how much it will cost us”. That is the only coherent question we should be considering. For proof that the Bush administration’s constant refrain that “our economy can’t afford the price tag of regulating CO2” is just plain false, look no further than the giant DuPont corporation. According to the December 12 issue of Business Week, DuPont has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by more than 65 percent since 1990 -- and, in the process, actually saved itself over $2 billion. That’s right, SAVED. So the Bush talking points need a rewrite: we can’t afford to not start regulating CO2 emissions. The arguments against stopping global warming are ringing hollower and hollower. And faux U.S. representatives and Exxon stooges like Harlan Watson are looking stupider and stupider. The problem is, in the eyes of the rest of the world, he is taking us down with him.
