#3 Who gets the loot? Whoever it is has my vote as among the greatest scam artist(s) of all time. Kyoto was the 'magic bullet' that would destroy the U.S. economy, but (so far!) we saw through the scam and didn't play along. Now the Tranzi fools find themselves holding the bag. What I think will actually happen is that faced with these bogus bills, one government after another will treat the payments like their UN dues, i.e. just never quite get around to cutting the check.

#4 First Al-Qaida came for Spain and took their lives, next the EU comes and takes their wealth. What's next?

Much of the money will be sent to Russia...

#5 And the rest will go bogus 'carbon capture' projects. My favourites are those that 'capture' methane from pig shit etc and then burn it producing - you guessed it - CO2.

#6 It's all a bunch of hot CO2. When it starts to hurt economically, seriously affected countries will quietly ignore payments. If threatened (Heaven forbid) with a strongly worded message of sanctions of some other crap, the countries will get out of the treaty. The Kyoto Treaty will fall like a deck of cards. Heh heh, the bureaucrats answer to the threats of junk science. So how is the Minister of Climate Change doing these days? What's his CO2 output figures?
