Former US Vice President Al Gore predicts that his country will join the Kyoto Climate Treaty before President George W. Bush leaves office.

Up to now, Bush has categorically refused to give US approval to the treaty aimed at limiting emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.,p> Speaking in Helsinki on Tuesday, Gore said that he had discussed the matter with an unnamed key researcher for the Bush Administration. The researcher had told Gore that the USA would join Kyoto at the latest "fifteen minutes after a new administration takes office".

It is better to be thought an Idiot, than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt.

The researcher had told Gore that the USA would join Kyoto at the latest "fifteen minutes after a new administration takes office".

And Gore probably believed him...

I wonder how come Gore didn't push for Kyoto approval when a Democrat was in office, oh, say, Bill Clinton, or somebody.... like WHEN HE WAS VICE PRESIDENT?

Why was the Senate vote at least 93-0? Why didn't Gore and Clinton try to twist arms in the Senate? 15 minutes after a new administration will the Senate change their vote?
