#1 And Reagen actually pushed for a reduction in overall nuke holdings rather than an agreed to higher ceiling of previous treaties, only to be portrayed as a warmonger. Its all about power, never about the particular subject matter being spit out by the critics.

#2 The Kyoto supporters don't like the new agreement because it doesn't transfer wealth from the Big Bad US and Australia to the Poor, Little developing Nations. In this regard it does conflict with Kyoto. Kyoto has never really been about reducing "greenhoud gasses" but the transfer of wealth. The new agreement does promise real reductions through technological advances. The only thing the Kyoto agreement does is ask people in developed countries to quit driving and quit generating electricity while encouraging India, China, and undeveloped countries to increase production of "greenhouse gasses".

#3 You got it, Deacon. Transfer of wealth. Not solving the problem. ~~Fundamental~~ Fatal flaw of Kyoto.

"Our goal is to complement other treaties with practical solutions to problems," he said.

Diplospeak, for sure by Robert Zoellick, but right on the mark. The group's aim is to solve problems, to bring every up. Not bring the countries with wealth down. Hope that it works out.

#4 That bastard Bush! First he liberates Afghanistan and Iraq, then he inks an agreement that actually does something about emissions, unlike that feel-good Kyoto pap. Will the horror never end?

#6 Actually I think that transfer of wealth was supposed to be from the US to the EU. The Europansies can choke on it, especially the Greens.
