	United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
		His book was prophetic of a United Nations' (UN) document called the Kyoto Protocol, which will force Americans to scale back our standard of living if it is implemented by the UN's goal of 2002.
		The UN-Gore goal is to force American industries to move to developing nations where the Kyoto Protocol will NOT bind them since only 38 developed nations are bound by it.
		The bottom line is that industries and jobs will move to one of the 150 nations, such as Mexico and China, NOT bound by the Protocol in order to redistribute wealth around the globe.

	Loy on climate change, Kyoto Protocol 07/22/00
		The 1997 Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (1992) committed industrialized nations to specified, legally binding reductions in emissions of six greenhouse gases.
		After Kyoto, President Clinton said he shared the spirit of the Senate's concerns and declared that he would not seek ratification of the Protocol until key developing countries participate meaningfully in the fight against climate change.
		In sum, it is no longer fashionable in the United States to oppose action on climate change.

		The meeting will focus on the impending entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change -- with the United States notably absent from the pact.
		Under the Kyoto Protocol, 38 industrialized nations have agreed to cut their emissions of greenhouse gases linked to global warming -- especially carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels.

	The Kyoto Protocol
		, regardless of the outcome of negotiations at the third Conference of the Parties (COP3), to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
		Even with the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol, greenhouse gas emissions are projected to keep gradually increasing at least until after 2010, and most likely beyond that period as stabilisation of emissions from Annex countries would be more than offset by increases in emissions from non-Annex 1 countries.
		The IPCC statement stands in stark contrast with the present aim of industrialised countries in the Kyoto Protocol to achieve an overall reduction in their greenhouse gas emissions of at least 5 per cent in the period to 2008—2012.
