From the artcile: ''We seek your leadership,'' Kevin Conrad told the Americans. ''But if for some reason you are not willing to lead, leave it to the rest of us. Please get out of the way.''
This is the weakest quote in the article. Doesn't Conrad realize that by not ratigying Kyoto, we are providing leadership? If he doesn't like the direction we are hoing, its a free world and he can do whatever he wants.

I wish I had been the US representative at this stupid event.
My response would have been "Well %$#& you!" before walking away laughing.

''We have learned a historical lesson: if you expose to the world the dealings of the United States, they will ultimately back down,'' he said.

We should lead. Conrad is right, but not about the direction. We should be the first to get out of the UN.

Another six major industrialized nations shut their wallets and walked away too. Who says the US doesn't lead?

"....the way was cleared Saturday for adoption of the ''Bali Roadmap", after a dramatic half-hour that set the stage for a grinding two years of climate talks to come." These talks will accomplish nothing, will change nothing, because in the end this nation will not sacrifice it's growth and prosperity for that of other nations based on a plan that is grossly unfair and intended, in the end, to accomplish the Socialist plan of wealth redistribution. That aside, the schism between the pro and anti human caused GW theorys grows wider by the day and will provide ample ammunition for us to use against the nut bag gloom and doomers.

has any one seen an estimate of the life style impacts of a these kind of reductions? I’m not looking for one of those silly carbon offset calculaters. I’d like to see something along the lines of this is how much we would have to reduce and this is what that would mean to our life styles. How much would we have to reduce the size of our houses, what would the typical automobile look like, how many fewer flights would be allowed?

So Shillary will help us to restore our stature with our “allies”, by taking my money and redistributing it throughout the globe. Then, they will cheer her Thighness and all will be good.
Wake up ignorant voters. When will we start to test?

But if for some reason you are not willing to lead, leave it to the rest of us. Please get out of the way.' Rather impertinent, coming from someone who is no doubt going to be looking for heavy US funding, to support this socialist boondoggle. Sort of like a penniless son, blaming and haranguing his parents for money, imho. If this really were about the purported dangers of "climate change," there would be no exceptions or allowances for any part of the world.

From the artcile: ''We seek your leadership,'' Kevin Conrad told the Americans. ''But if for some reason you are not willing to lead, leave it to the rest of us. Please get out of the way.'' Hey, if the guy from the country with zero industry wants to make a symbolic statement and ratify Kyoto, go right ahead, his country is free to remain a zero industry country for as long as it wants.
Those of us who actually have economies can feel equally free to differ.
