RobBob Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Hmmm...I'm reading that Vlad Putin is reneging on Kyoto, realizing that it's a one-way deal, and that there are more opinions in the world of global climate theory than the politically-correct "warming-crisis" concept. Good on him for having the balls. Now it cannot be claimed that the US is the one holding up the show. Let's start again, this time with a treaty in mind that puts a lot higher expectations on the third world to clean up thier emmissions...all of them, including the dung-fires of asia.

So opponents of the Kyoto accord are jubilant over Russia's unexpected reluctance to ratify the treaty. Their rejoicing is premature, however. It is still probable that Moscow will eventually join the treaty. But in the meantime the fate of this key agreement is hostage to the vagaries of Russian politics.

[...] realizing that it's a one-way deal, and that there are more opinions in the world of global climate theory than the politically-correct "warming-crisis" concept. what matters are qualified opinions not that of oil industry stooges. putin's hesitation is due to economics not climate warming science.

RobBob Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 That's not what Putin said earlier this month to his own people in Moscow...I don't have time to look it up, but he absolutely did question the science, as I remember.

catbirdseat Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I thought this thread was going to be about Putin arresting the head of the largest oil company in Russia. There's a story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
