	Harvard Gazette: Kyoto first city in series on art and architecture
		Kyoto's dual identity as both a political and spiritual center resulted in its accumulating an enormous number of spectacular buildings and artworks, of which Rosenfield was able to discuss only a tiny fraction.
		Today, Kyoto and the other cities of Japan face the same challenge that the rest of the world faces, Rosenfield concluded - building a humane and aesthetically enriching culture within the high-tech, commercialized civilization that is evolving throughout the developed world.
		And yet the station is there, unsettling and unavoidable, which may be why John Rosenfield decided to begin his lecture on Kyoto in that spot rather than in one of the many temples, museums, or manicured gardens with which the city abounds.

	Harvard International Review: Qualifying Kyoto
		The Kyoto Protocol calls for signatory countries to revert to 1990 GHG emissions levels by 2012, and requires that 55 or more countries that collectively represent at least 55 percent of global GHG emissions sign the treaty before it can be legally effective.
		The result was the Kyoto Protocol, a treaty that has still not gone into effect and is mired in the extensive process of intense political debate.
		As pressure rises and fissures widen, the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement aimed at significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is melting away by the minute.

	Hot Air Over Kyoto
		The morning after the Kyoto agreement, Republican congressional leaders held a news conference declaring the Protocol "dead on arrival" in the US Senate, arguing that the document's failure to set binding emissions-reduction targets for China, India, and other major developing countries would economically disadvantage the United States.
		As it emerged from Kyoto, the Protocol was only a barebones framework of reduction targets and a hazy statement of the principles for meeting them.
		European governments that had rejected even minor modifications to the Kyoto emissions-- reduction targets during The Hague talks were suddenly forced to confront the reality that the entire agreement might collapse if the Protocol were not completed in July at the next negotiating session in Bonn, Germany.

	The Heat Is Online
		The industrial nations participating in the Kyoto process determined that each country's emission rights be based on its 1990 levels to ensure continuity of their economies.
		The system of international emissions trading at the heart of the Kyoto Protocol is based on the concept that a country which exceeds its allowed quantity of carbon emissions can buy emission credits from a country which emits less than its allowed quantity.
		Finally, Bush withdrew the country from the Kyoto climate negotiations and the Administration's chief climate negotiator declared that the U.S. won't engage the Kyoto process for at least 10 years.

		Whereas the economic catastrophe that would occur as a result of implementing the Kyoto Protocol is a certainty, the likelihood of an environmental catastrophe resulting from a failure to implement Kyoto is extremely speculative.
		Second, the notion that implementing the Kyoto Protocol is effective insurance ignores the fact that the actual averted warming that would result is inconsequential.
		But on scientific, economic and political grounds, the Kyoto Protocol as an attempt to control this risk while improving the human condition is flawed.

		However, Harvard has not been completely averse to environmental sustainability, and a closer examination reveals that Harvard’s slow progress may be due to the fact that students, faculty, and administrators must navigate through many complications in order to promote environmentalism on campus.

	Kyoto - Preface
		The outcome of the meeting was the Kyoto Protocol, in which the developed nations agreed to limit their greenhouse gas emissions, relative to the levels emitted in 1990.
		From December 1 through 11, 1997, more than 160 nations met in Kyoto, Japan, to negotiate binding limitations on greenhouse gases for the developed nations, pursuant to the objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change of 1992.
		Chapter 1 of this report provides background discussion of the Kyoto Protocol and the framework and methodology of the analysis.

	Problems with the Protocol
		The Kyoto protocol is to date the only international agreement that calls for action to reduce emissions of CO Yet the Harvard scientists and economists who study climate change express almost universal criticism of the accord, which they fault as economically inefficient, unobjective, inequitable, and—worst of all—ineffective.
		By selecting a timescale that was almost immediate—a completion date of 2008—the Kyoto Protocol mandated economically inefficient measures to achieve its targets.
		The original agreement outlined in Kyoto committed individual countries to reduce their CO emissions to below-1990 levels.

	The Administration’s Negotiating Strategy; Kyoto Protocol Can be Fixed; Kyoto is Doomed to Fail
		Robert Stavins, professor of public policy and Chair of the Environment and Natural Resources Program at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, said at a briefing for Capitol Hill staff members that the Kyoto Protocol is flawed, but can become a good foundation for future greenhouse policies if it is fixed.
		In an article in Foreign Affairs (March/April 1998), Richard N. Cooper of Harvard University argues that the Kyoto Protocol as it now stands is "bound to fail." The Kyoto framework is a set of agreed-upon national objectives that allows each country to comply in its own way.
		Under questioning, however, Eizenstat admitted that the Clinton Administration will sign the Kyoto Protocol as it now stands even if developing countries do not agree to participate.

	Donald Knuth wins Kyoto Prize

		People who love good typesetting and beautiful books, especially those who need to typeset mathematics, know Knuth as the author of the TeX typesetting system which has become the standard in many fields.

	SSRN-Thirteen Plus One: A Comparison of Global Climate Policy Architectures by Joseph Aldy, Scott Barrett, Robert Stavins
		We identify several major themes among the alternative proposals: Kyoto is "too little, too fast"; developing countries should play a more substantial role and receive incentives to participate; implementation should focus on market-based approaches, especially those with price mechanisms; and participation and compliance incentives are inadequately addressed by most proposals.
		The Kyoto Protocol does not fare well on a number of criteria, but none of the alternative proposals fare well along all six dimensions.
		We critically review the Kyoto Protocol and thirteen alternative policy architectures for addressing the threat of global climate change.

	Harvard Seminar on Environmental Values 2001-2002
		The Kyoto protocol on combating global warming nearly collapsed last year when the US decided to pull out of it.
		Others suggest that the break-off might have been caused by global warming and warn that if the Kyoto agreement is not implemented, more similar events could be expected in the future.
		Since then, European governments have reached a measure of accord with other countries around the world, but the country providing the largest single contribution to global atmospheric carbon emissions has declined to join with other countries to commit to reducing those emissions.

		A brilliant political force-multiplier that will mobilize Kyoto's natural enemies to effectuate energy rationing is a Department of Energy program to award ``transferable credits'' for verified greenhouse gas emission reductions, according to Marlo Lewis, Jr., of the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
		Although it was expected that European countries could meet Kyoto targets more easily than developing countries, only Germany and Britain have cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than the agreed amount, and France has just reached its goal.
		The present-value cost of the Kyoto Protocol to cut emissions 5% below the 1990 level is $3 trillion, according to Yale economist William Nordhaus (Singer F, letter to editor, Wilson Quarterly 5/7/03).
