Kyoto Paradox:
Global climate is one of the most complex systems known.
To say we can control it by a small set of factors is ridiculous.

The problem with a chaotic coupled non-linear system as complex as climate is that you can no more predict successfully the outcome of doing something as of not doing something. Kyoto will not halt climate change.

Climate models, which serve as the basis for long-term climate predictions, have clearly failed when tested against observed climate data.

"Antarctica has been cooling since 1966, directly contradicting model results that suggest that warming will be more pronounced in the Earth's polar regions."
-- Nature magazine

"the Antarctic ice sheet is expanding rather than shrinking, contrary to what global-warming enthusiasts would have us believe."
-- Science magazine

Further, climate models are filled with assumptions, bad data, tweaks, etc.
Modelers can tweak these parameters to force the model to show any result.
