Therefore President Bush's decision to disregard this issue is not an environmental decision.

You will get no argument from me on that point.

And... even its proponents say that the Kyoto Protocol is merely Step One, and that it doesn't do very much about global warming. The primary benefit that they cite is the precedent for better treaties/protocols that actually might do something about global warming. The only ones that I would advocate at present would be treaties that have controls on black soot emissions and methane as well as CO2.

Would you speculate as to the chance that these massive wildfires were included in the computer model that predicts this global warming?

Did they include the loss of carbon dioxide to oxygen transfer because of these dead trees?
