	Harper's letter dismisses Kyoto as 'socialist scheme'
		The accord is an international environmental pact that sets targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
		Under Kyoto, Canada was required to reduce emissions by six per cent by 2012, while economies in transition, like Russia, were allowed to choose different base years.
		He said the accord would cripple the oil and gas industries, which are essential to Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.

	The New Atlantis - A Journal of Technology and Society
		The Kyoto Protocol is a treaty intended to ration the use of energy in order to address the concerns of those who believe that we face a global warming catastrophe.
		he Kyoto accord is a protocol connected to an existing global climate treaty adopted in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and known formally as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC).
		Kyoto is not the first attempt to impose worldwide restrictions on anthropogenic emissions.

	BBC News \| EUROPE \| Europe backs Kyoto accord
		The Kyoto accord was designed to limit the gas emissions blamed by some scientists for global warming, but Mr Bush says such restrictions will harm the US economy.
		Kyoto "is still alive, and no individual country has the right to declare that a multilateral accord is dead", Swedish Environment Minister Kjell Larsson said.
		This failure to demand emission quotas from developing nations is one of the main objections raised by the Bush administration to the Kyoto accord.

	HOAX: Implementation of Kyoto Accord/Protocol
		The Kyoto Accord, or Kyoto Protocol (Kyoto), should NOT be implemented by the Parliament of Canada.
		Consequently, and sadly for Canada, Kyoto was adopted by Parliament on Tuesday, December 10, 2002, when a majority of the MPs, our Members of Parliament, voted for it, clearing the way for the Prime Minister to sign the seriously flawed Kyoto Accord document to complete the ratification process on Monday, December 16, 2002.
		As bad as the "science" of Kyoto has been, and it is very badly flawed, indeed, ratification of the Kyoto Protocol set in motion what could become the most massive, devious, and systematic "shafting" of the already beleaguered taxpayers of Canada, IF kyoto is implemented.

	Global Warming: Can Kyoto Accord Really Help?
		The news that the Kyoto accord is to be implemented has raised hopes among the world’s people that governments are now finally going to unite to take meaningful action to prevent this global environmental catastrophe.
		The irony is that these measures were included in Kyoto largely at the insistence of the US and Australian governments as the price for their participation, but then both governments withdrew from the protocol anyway after delaying the flawed treaty’s final emergence for almost a decade.
		According to the New Scientist website, these loopholes and scams will mean that even if the industrialised countries achieve Kyoto’s 5.2% reduction on paper, the real-world reduction will be more likely to be 1.5%.

	The Kyoto Accord
		Kyoto focuses primarily on reducing CO a relatively harmless gas, and does nothing to control real air pollution like NO and particulates, or serious pollutants in water and soil.
		The Kyoto Protocol would reduce that increase by an insignificant 0.06ºC. If increased atmospheric concentrations of CO were a major problem, then as many as 40 Kyoto-type emission cuts would be required to stop the predicted human-made warming.
		According to the IPCC, overall global temperature increases since the late 1950s (the beginning of adequate weather balloon data) in the lower troposphere have been similar to those at the surface.

	Understanding Global Climate Change \| Politics: Summary of Kyoto Protocol
		Five years after the Rio Accord on global climate change, the Kyoto Protocol was approved to strengthen it.
		Kyoto also expresses greater concern for the role that three long-lived industrial gases, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride play in atmospheric warming.
		Parties who signed the Rio Accord and the Kyoto Protocol are concerned that global warming will disrupt the international community economically, environmentally, and socially.

	Kyoto Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kyoto Protocol was adopted at the third session of the Conference of Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC in 1997 in Kyoto, Japan.
		Kyoto enables a group of several Annex I countries to join together to create a so-called ‘bubble’, or a cluster of countries that is given an overall emissions cap and is treated as a single entity for compliance purposes.
		According to those same officials, the United States is on track to fulfill its pledge to reduce its carbon intensity 18% by 2012.

	Climate conference becomes a disaster - Kyoto up in smoke?
		Putin and his economic advisor both refuse to endorse Kyoto, and a parade of Russian scientists have been brought forward to debunk global warming, bringing dismay to participants in the climate change conference currently underway in Russia.
		According to Putin, in a joke he made to the Climate Change Conference, global warming would be good for Russia, since they wouldn't need such heavy parkas, and they could grow more wheat.
		Kyoto is a small step (calling for only a 5 per cent reduction, when the scientfic consensus calls for a 60 per cent reduction in green house gas emissions).

	Clouds converge over Kyoto
		The Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, released on December 10 1997 in Kyoto, Japan, is an agreement among the signing national governments to encourage reductions in carbon emissions by the industries operating in their jurisdictions.
		Thus, the Kyoto Accord was born: Its an agreement by all signing countries to collectively lower the world's overall carbon emissions.
		Thus, it is their plan, judging by their latest public relations gambit, to confuse the public about what Kyoto is about, to make staggering claims about the economic and social costs of the treaty, to claim that the treaty won't actually do any good, and to cry that it is unfair to their member companies.

	Canada Poised to Kill Kyoto :: Mediacheck :: thetyee.ca
		The campaign to kill Kyoto was taken over by National Public Relations, the Canadian arm of global PR giant Burson-Marsteller, which created an industry front group called the Canadian Coalition for Responsible Environmental Solutions to promote the made in Canada solution.
		The Kyoto Accord is the evidence and an attempt to deal realistically and practically with the measurable reality of global, but predominantly Western fossil fuel dependency and damage to the natural systems of the earth, (with China and other major developing areas of the globe moving in the same direction, no doubt).
		Kyoto was a brave attempt to try to solve a world-wide problem, it may not be perfect, but hell, we have to start somewhere.

	The Kyoto Protocol and Emissions Trading
		The agreement was designed to combat the problems of global warming, which, according to many scientists, threatened the world’s environment over the course of the next few hundred years.
		The Kyoto agreement foresees the development of such a system and has ensured that a future trading regime will be compatible with the original protocol, but it did not create a system on its own.
		Some parties to the Kyoto agreement are experimenting with their own domestic markets to facilitate trade in greenhouse gases.

	Global Warming, Globalization and the Kyoto Accord
		One must look at the Kyoto Accord, with its favorable treatment of "third world developing economies" and unfavorable treatment of "developed polluting economies", under the light of Globalism.
		According to this article, we should be near the peak expected for the current interglacial period.
		As I alluded to in one of the previous e-mails, the timing of glaciation and interglacial warm periods appears to be primarily determined by variations in the shape of the Earth's orbit, changes in the tilt of the Earth's axis of rotation and variations in the solar output.

	Russian Scientists Reassert Opposition to Kyoto Accord - by Andre Illarionov - The Heartland Institute
		Kinenmos: Very early after Kyoto, the Australian government and the Prime Minister said that Australia was not going to ratify the Kyoto Protocol because of the impact on the economic conditions in Australia.
		Because the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol will hit hardest at those countries which had been careless enough to assume obligations to cut carbon dioxide emissions, and Japan was one of such countries.
		So, the introduction of the Kyoto Protocol through ratification, for instance, possible ratification by Russia, would mean that Japan would quickly start to move back to the state in which it was a decade ago; it would be weak, poor, and backward.

		KYOTO, Japan — The Kyoto global warming pact (search) went into force Wednesday, seven years after it was negotiated, imposing limits on emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases many scientists blame for rising world temperatures, melting glaciers and rising oceans.
		Environmental officials, gathered in the convention hall where the accord was adopted, hailed the protocol as a historic first step in the battle against global warming and urged the world to further strengthen safeguards against greenhouse gases.
		The Kyoto agreement was delayed by the requirement that countries accounting for 55 percent of the world's emissions must ratify it.

		This is in line with a Senate resolution, passed by a 95-to-0 vote in July, which turns down any Kyoto agreement that damages the economy of the United States while exempting most of the world's nations, including such major emerging economic powers as China, India and Brazil.
		The petition is also in line with resolutions passed by state legislatures, labor unions, industry associations and consumer groups, who base their objections to Kyoto restrictions mainly on economic grounds—an expected slowdown of economic growth and huge job losses because of drastically higher energy costs, with gasoline prices rising by as much as a dollar.
		Further, many of the so-called consenting IPCC scientists are known to be critical of the IPCC report and have signed the petition opposing the Kyoto accord.

		The more people there are using a forest, and the more functions a forest has to fulfil, the harder it is to audit.
