Not at all. If you notice, the Kyoto agreement called for the most industrialized nations (of which the US led the pack by far) to curb emissions, while the "emerging nations" (India, China, et. al.) were allowed to pollute unfettered. It was really a global weath redistribution scheme.Manedwolf said:Tinfoil hat time!
If Kyoto was REALLY all about curbing emissions, it would have called for such to be done uniformly across ALL countries worldwide.
Finally, the amount of impact Kyoto would have had on total greenhouse gas emissions (if FULLY applied, which is has not been and will not be) was well under a 10% reduction, and was more about perceptions of "doing something" than about actually effecting change.
