Some of the biggest proponents of Kyoto have a vested interest in halting U.S. economic growth. The European Union, for instance, has placed plenty of strictures on their own countries when it comes to welfare and labor policies that brake the dynamism of their economies.

Slowing down our country's more vigorous economic growth is part of their own unstated strategy to ensure their economic competitiveness in the international marketplace. Third World countries have their eyes set on enticing industry from the United States to relocate. The emissions caps on industrial countries can help them to accomplish that goal.

Thank God we have a Republican President and Republican Congress. We'd be doing pretty badly had Gore been in power.

Maybe someone should send them that article out yesterday about how warm it was in the Middle Ages.

Another of those...I told you so...moments. (I'm not going to go looking for the specific reply)
They'll legislate it in, one way or another, sooner or later. If it is stopped this time (always questionable nowadays) everyone better not forget about it or it'll slip by later with no notice at all.
Kyoto will be implemented, by hook or by crook, or even stealth of night...it has been "a done deal" for some time now and the only thing yet to do is hand out the pens while the ink dries.
