Why Kyoto is a crock of poo poo!

US Position on KYOTO

"The world's second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases is China. Yet, China was entirely exempted from the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol. This is a challenge that requires a 100 percent effort; ours, and the rest of the world's. America's unwillingness to embrace a flawed treaty should not be read by our friends and allies as any abdication of responsibility. To the contrary, my administration is committed to a leadership role on the issue of climate change. Our approach must be consistent with the long-term goal of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere."

I think the simple fact that cows farting gives off more green house gases than a majority of industries explains clear enough why KYOTO is a crock

What will happen if no one curbs emissions?
Climate change is real and the correlation between CO2 and the change is immediate.
A better question is can we afford not to curb emissions?

Great questions. Ask China!

No, the real question is can you prove that CO2 emissions have anything to do with the climate change rather than simply the natural cyclical pattern of climate change?
