Ratifying Kyoto would only have been an after the fact matter. The damage has already been done because a lot of other nations did ratify Kyoto and had already been trying to comply with some of the demands.

None of these things was necessary in any real business or scientific sense and just added extra layers to planning and bureaucracy.
