They could have had us as part of the Kyoto accord if they’d only wanted to do so instead of tweaking our nose.

Kyoto is nothing more than a $hakedown.
The signatories are currently being fined Billon$, payable to the UN of course.

"The United States refused to sign the last major international treaty on reducing greenhouse gases"
More specifically, what is never brought up by all the lying Demagogues and MSM hacks, is that the US Senate declined, with a vote of 95-0, even to bring the "Kyoto Treaty" forward for a formal ratification vote and Bill, Hillary and Albore made not even the faintest efforts to have the treaty ratified. In other words, Kyoto was DOA in the US Senate because it was recognized, on a bi-partisan basis, to be a TURKEY concocted by IMBECILES.

But now the United States finds itself isolated at the conference, given that Australian Prime Minister-elect Kevin Rudd, whose party swept to power in general elections just one week ago, immediately put signing the Kyoto pact at the top of his international agenda.A little preview of headlines in late 2008 when the She-beast sweeps to power, Chavez-style...

"It is already affecting the livelihoods of people we work with," said Dr. Charles Ehrhart, Climate Change Co-ordinator for CARE International, citing concerns over food security and access to water. "It is contributing to tensions within and between communities." So, if I read this correctly, there are no actual warming effects yet. Just people "concerned" and "tense" about it.
Industrialized countries, which have pumped the lion's share of greenhouses gases into the atmosphere to date, should take the lead in reducing emissions, he said. Developing countries like China, the world's second biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, may not be required to cut their emissions immediately but should commit slowing the growth of carbon dioxide and other heat trapping gases.
So China (which will become the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases in 2010, has no requiremnt to reduce emissions until some vague, unspecified period in the future.
There is no way that Congress will ratify this. None.

They are all flying to Bali, in jet aircraft I assume, which consume fossil fuels, and once there plan to tell us what to do? Had they decided to conduct this meeting through tele-conferencing or TV, or paddled to their luxurious Bali resort in dugout canoes, I might have a little more belief in their good faith. And we are no doubt paying for the party.
