...and that is the incentive to get Kyoto done, make every effort to

political, not scientific.

No, it makes it obvious that the people who are concerned about
increasing carbon dioxide know that it is a global problem, and no single
country or subset of countries can find a complete solution in isolation.

Nonsense, absolute and utter nonsense. If Kyoto were about reducing CO2
emissions, it would have placed restrictions on India and China as well.



In order to keep the pool clean, you have to stop _everyone_ from
peeing in it.

OK, if that's so -- then why does Kyoto allow China and India to keep peeing
in the pool?

Like I said -- political basis, not scientific.


How much would Kyoto allow a Chinese to pee in the
pool and how much would it allow an American?

Got any numbers?
