So, what you mean then (and I don't agree, I'm just trying to help you reach some sort of clarity) is that the Kyoto Protocol 'sucks ass' and by extention, it's signatories also 'suck ass'?

Do you believe that any attempt to agree between nations on a reduction of Greenhouse Gasses would be fruitless and so 'suck ass'? And what proofs are you siting, because it was my impression the bulk of the world scientiffic community agrees significant climate change is taking place due to human activity, that it will take decades to reverse the potentially drastic effects, and that the sooner we start, the better. But if you're conversant with studies I'm unfamilliar with, I'd be interested in hearing about it. I mean, I'd hate to think some columnist just told you that and you blindly believed it. That sort of lck step behavior would certainly 'suck ass' if you don't mind my saying.
