What do you think about the participation of USA in the Kyoto Protocol?

Answer 1

I find our participation very agreeable. Which is to say our abstaining from that internationalist extorting scheme is just fine with me

Answer 2

There was a reason that the Senate voted 95-0 to reject it. That reason is because it punishes the US, and does nothing about the biggest polluters like China.

And, experts have said that even if implemented, it would have the net effect of reducing the greenhouse gas problem by less than 0.5% - basically nothing - at a huge economic (and thus human) cost to the US and EU.

The fact is that it is a terrible treaty based on questionable science that is more likely to harm people than do anything for the environment.

Answer 3

I believe it was underhanded attempt to handicap the United States because if the world community was serious they would not exempted some of the worst polluters like China, India, Mexico

Answer 4

It is a waste. Most restrictions are on USa and China gets a walk. The whole thing is just a feel good, do nothing waste. I laugh at the fools that have fallen for this.

Answer 5

The people who preached to you about that are the same people who support the World Bank

Now, what significant important is the World Bank to the USA?

Answer 6

Why bother. It's 'Feel Good' leglislation. Even the nations who radified it have failed to live up to it.
