OT: US joining Kyoto?
Sure, sure, Jan '08 is the magic date - all the world's problems will evaporate, just watch and see ;)
Of course the US will join Kyoto if the Dems take office. Just like we did under the Clinton/Gore administration. [/satire]
from wiki: (bold mine)
On November 12, 1998, Vice President Al Gore symbolically signed the protocol. Both Gore and Senator Joseph Lieberman indicated that the protocol would not be acted upon in the Senate until there was participation by the developing nations.[66] The Clinton Administration never submitted the protocol to the Senate for ratification.
More seriously, Kyoto is deeply flawed. A better agreement would get better participation.
