Kyoto to me is one of the best examples of group think mania I have ever seen. My sense of that treaty is that it represented a consensus of the values of the global warming community, a documentation of their comradery. It was a feel-good expression rather than a blueprint for mechanism for accomplishing a purpose. I think that there are too few hard-nosed, bottom-line problem solvers in that community. Bunch of what an old friend of mine used to call "right brained twinkies."

The problem that the US has right now, vis a vis global warming on the international stage is that it's quite clear the anti-global warming forces in the US are driving its bus. I've said this over and over. With an administration and a congress committed to addressing global warming, much could happen, on the international stage, that's not happening now. As far as Kyoto was concerned, the US managed through the ins and outs of that process, to throw an unequivocal interpretation of its opposition out into the international waters: it was opposed to addressing global warming. Period. That's all I mean, Bob.
