Someone do some research and find the roll call from when the Senate voted AGAINST Kyoto 95-0 and see if Kerry voted against or failed to vote.

This is from another article appearing today:

"Kerry, like Bush, opposed American participation in the current Kyoto treaty. In 1999, he joined in a 95-0 Senate vote that stated that the United States should not ratify the treaty unless China and other rapidly developing countries were also required to reduce greenhouse gases.

"But Kerry, who has called pollution a "mortal threat" to the climate, wants to reopen the Kyoto negotiations to refashion an agreement acceptable to the United States."

Clearly, Kerry wants to now vote for the Kyoto treaty AFTER he voted against it.

I found out a lot (Post #1) but not his vote in 1997. I've been looking.

Kerry's views complicated, contradictory

January 30, 2004

***.....In 1997, he voted against the Kyoto Protocol on global warming but now criticizes the Bush administration for not pursuing the treaty, which is designed to cut down on global toxic emissions. Kerry said he would return to the negotiating table to fix the treaty because "it didn't have the participation of rapidly emerging countries."....***
