#1 I read a couple of days ago(don't remeber where)that the U.S. has cut air pollution by 50% since 1980.How much has the E.U cut in the last 20 years,Aris?

#2 Kyoto has ZERO to do with preventing global warming or making earth a cleaner planet. The UN exempted the 2 biggest nation polluters ( China and India) from following the Kyoto Protocol, so what does that tell you?

Kyoto is all about re-distribution of $ from rich to poor nations. Under Kyoto every nation would get environmental "credits". So industrialized affluent countries like the US, Canada, UK, Italy, Japan, etc could buy credits from Third World unindustrialized hellholes like Zimbabwe or S.Africa without effecting pollution one way or the other. Especially if global warming is a natural cycle that happens every 4000 years whatever as many scientists believe, then global warming will continue even if we all rode bicycles to work every day. However, Western businesses and taxpayers would take it in the neck big time with additional "discreet" taxes to pay for these extra credits from Third World countries.
