No Replacement For Displacement

Third Letter from John to the Idiotarians

"An example of his anti-environmental position is the embarassment that we did not sign the kyoto treaty. He has friends in big business and did not want to offend them."

This is wrong from a number of different levels. First of all, it works under the assumption that human induced global warming is even occurring. There is copious research being done by noted climatologists that there is no evidence to suggest that warming is occurring as a result of human activity. That is the first problem with this issue.

The second problem is more obvious. President Bush did not kill the Kyoto treaty. The only thing he did was acknowledge that it was dead. The treaty was actually killed off when the Senate voted 95-0 against ratifying the treaty in a "Sense of the Senate" resolution in 1998(105th S. Res 98) The resolution was agreed to by such pawns of the oil industry as Carl Levin(D-MI), Patrick Leahy(D-VT), Ted Kennedy(D-MA), Barbara Boxer(D-CA), and Chris Dodd(D-CT).

If Bush is such an evil pawn of the oil companies for acknowledging that the Kyoto treaty could not be ratified, what does that make the 40 someodd Democrat senators who helped to kill it?
