Son of Kyoto

So, the pundits have spoken, and global warming is officially man made.... (I have to admit, the sun DOES seem more intense NOW than it did when I was a kid back in the '70's, so I AM on board with the core topic - it's how we go about SOLVING it FAIRLY that bugs me...)

The scientists said it was "very likely" -- or more than 90 percent probable -- that human activities led by burning fossil fuels explained most of the warming in the past 50 years.
"February 2, 2007 may be remembered as the day the question mark was removed from whether (people) are to blame for climate change," said Achim Steiner, head of the U.N. Environment Program.
The Kyoto Protocol is the main plan for capping emissions of greenhouse gases until 2012 but it has been severely weakened since the United States, the top source of greenhouse gases, pulled out in 2001. Emissions by many backers of Kyoto are far over target. {Typical U.N. - do as I say, not as I do....}

"Bush pulled out of Kyoto, saying caps would harm the economy and that Kyoto should include developing nations. He focuses instead on big investments in hydrogen and biofuels." {Yeah, why should WE be the only ones who have to tow the line, and foot the bill? Right on, President Bush!!!} So, when do CHINA and INDIA have to step up to the plate and take as much ownership and accountability as the United States, or does the U.N. just give them a free pass???
