Killing Kyoto | The Resilient Earth

By its creators' own admission, Kyoto has been a failure. Surely the best thing we could do is to kill Kyoto altogether. Yet hope springs eternal in the breast of bureaucratic climate regulators everywhere.

They got the science wrong and in many cases their regulations have been counter productive. The only thing Kyoto helped to create is a gigantic international bureaucracy that tries to insinuate itself into every government, every agency on the planet. Not satisfied with wasting billions of dollars that could be put to far better use, the IPCC and its green fellow travelers wish to dictate how we live our daily lives. If it is zero CO2 emissions they desire let them lead by example—stop jetting around the world, attending international conclaves in fancy hotels, shuttling about in limousines. In fact, since they demand zero human carbon dioxide output, let's insist they all stop exhaling. The whole world would breath much easier.
