Answer 1

No suprise here...

And Clinton has plenty of blood on his hands too.

Answer 2

The article you link to doesn't even say that the Clinton administration lied, rather that they were dealing with some assumptions that weren't correct, in some cases because they were over-rosy and in others because they were dependent on future developments that had stalled. Being wrong is not the same as lying.
Besides, the USA Today article is from 4 years AFTER the Kyoto Treaty was signed. A retrospective assessment is a far cry from exposing a lie.

Answer 3

If the Clinton White House told a lie, was a lie that the President of the United States told you direct on TV, every time he talked , was it a lie about going to war and killing thousands of Troops, wounding thousands maimed beyond recognition, was it a lie in order to break the2nd Constitution, "We Will Take Arms Against Another Country Only If They Strike Us First". Iraq did not strike us first. Get some Iies serious lies that this President has looked in the TV and told not Once but every time he opens his mouth. That President is G.W. Bush

Answer 4

I bet if you kept checking you will find that every president is a liar. Congress is famous for lying. The entire government is a bunch of liars. None of them uphold the constitution. Instead of worrying about what Clinton did when he was in office, how about focusing on the "head strong idiot" that's running the show now. I bet you will find a lot of discrepancies and lies in that file. Please stop being so goofy. Check all sides before making a statement because you look very ignorant. No wonder why people think Americans are stupid, they keep reading stupid questions by uneducated people like yourself. Thank you.

Answer 5

The Bush administration has done absolutely no analysis to substantiate its claim that the Kyoto Protocol or domestic policies to reduce carbon dioxide pollution from power plants would seriously harm the U.S. economy. While industry trade associations have published many misleading claims of economic harm, two comprehensive government analyses have shown that it is possible to reduce greenhouse pollution to levels called for in the Kyoto agreement without harming the U.S. economy.

In 1998, the White House Council of Economic Advisors concluded that the costs of implementing the Kyoto Protocol would be "modest" -- no more than a few tenths of 1 percent of gross domestic product in 2010, equivalent to adding no more than a month or two to a ten-year forecast for achieving a vastly increased level of wealth in this country. A subsequent and more detailed study by five Department of Energy national laboratories found that policies to promote increases in energy efficiency would allow the United States to make most of the emission reductions required to comply with the Kyoto Protocol through domestic measures that have the potential to improve economic performance over the long run.[3] The only study that President Bush cited in announcing his reversal on CO2 reductions, a report by the Energy Information Administration, failed to consider the inexpensive greenhouse pollution reductions that can be achieved through energy efficiency. The study also ignored the Kyoto Protocol's flexible market mechanisms, which the United States has spent the last three years negotiating with other signatories.

While the Bush administration may assert that previous government cost studies are inaccurate, there is no basis for such a view. The current administration has not conducted its own analysis of the costs of the Kyoto agreement.

The Bush administration has only said that it is conducting a cabinet-level review of the global warming issue and that "the president does believe that working with our friends and allies and through international processes, we can develop technologies, market-based incentives, and other innovative approaches that can combat global climate change." The administration has not offered any explanation for announcing its conclusions before conducting the review.

In fact, the Kyoto Protocol offers just the solutions that President Bush says he favors. It is an innovative international agreement that includes market-based incentives and promotes cooperation in developing technologies to combat global climate change. (For example: Article 10 of the protocol requires all parties to cooperate in developing and diffusing technologies for addressing climate change, and Article 17 provides that parties with specific emission limits under the protocol may participate in emissions trading.)

Answer 6

I say no. as well, she already has a job. the astounding voters of ny obviously favor her as their Senator, in the different case they would not have reelected her. i'm truly positive they assume yet another finished six years out of her, and she will be abandoning her duty to her ny voters if she were to pass to the White residing house, thereby leaving those undesirable souls and her fellow Yankees followers interior the lurch and without the Senate representation they voted for. save Hillary the position she is. As Captain Spock would say, "good judgment dictates that the needs of the various (ny voters) outweigh the needs of the few or the only (my favor to have her as my President)." So enable us no longer be egocentric next November, and evaluate the needs of the voters of ny. enable us enable Hillary to proceed to represent them interior the Senate and vote for some different person who at present holds no modern-day political workplace and would locate the money for to be the President of america for the subsequent 8 years.

Answer 7

Hmmm maybe Bush could offer them a position in his cabinet since one of the key attributes he looks for is the ability to obfuscate and disseminate.

Answer 8

Yeah, yeah, it's all Clinton's fault. Uh huh. Dream on, fool.

Answer 10

Yes Kyoto was flawed.

Yes, ALL POLITICIANS lie. Its the only "honest" work they can get.

Answer 11
