Then consider this statement:
The United States is no longer bound by Kyoto, which the Bush administration rejected after taking office in 2001
Actually the US was NEVER bound by the Kyoto treaty. It was never submitted by President Clinton when the treaty was first written becaue it would not have been ratified by the Senate.
Here are the details from Wikipedia.
On July 25, 1997, before the Kyoto Protocol was finalized (although it had been fully negotiated, and a penultimate draft was finished), the U.S. Senate unanimously passed by a 95–0 vote the Byrd-Hagel Resolution (S. Res. 98),[40] which stated the sense of the Senate was that the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol that did not include binding targets and timetables for developing as well as industrialized nations or "would result in serious harm to the economy of the United States". 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.[41] The Clinton Administration never submitted the protocol to the Senate for ratification.
And these are the people who claim that Jamil Hussein is real and all his 61 stories are true.
