Wow, it’s simple to complain about the most powerful nation in the world because everyone does it. But, how about some facts that aren’t quoted from the BBC? I’m not saying that I am the biggest supporter of President Bush—I’m a democrat—but it is hard to take any report seriously if the source information comes from a singular source. I don’t know about the UK, but in the United States we are taught that a diversity of information helps to support a viewpoint better than taking information derived from one source and touting the product as a truly informative essay. I really care about the environment and I realize that we need to get a democrat or an environmentally friendly republican in office—it has been a pattern trough out history. I would not try out for Bush’s cheerleading squad, but even though he has increased the amount of carbon dioxide emissions allowed by law into the environment, the overall amount of emissions into the atmosphere have decreased. They will simply decrease at a slower pace. On a more patriotic note, it is interesting that many nations choose to bash the United States rather than to consider their own problems. Yeah Britain emits a lower amount of carbon dioxide—but it isn’t nearly as productive. Your website makes it look like your organization is a cult, so it makes sense that you information would be fundamentally ethnocentric and bias.

Countries need to come together for this issue.

I am currently doing some information for an essay on my english class and I chose the topic the Kyoto Protocol. I think that it is a major issue, something that we can not control without help. I believe that as a Christian that we should take care of our earth and everything in it. Which is really hard this day and age, I find it really disheartening when together as countries we can not agree on something that could really bring us together and is a good cause. I know it is not as simple as it looks from my perspective, but I am not writing this to put down the UK or America, but I do sense tension between the two. All I really wanted to say is that Kyoto or no Kyoto I think us personally as people need to smarten up too and be informed and do as much as we can. That's all ..

CO2 emmisions

If we were to take your numbers and look a little closer you would see that as a % of the economy, China puts out 904 Million tons per percent as compared to the US at 180.33 million tons per percent. Europe puts out 137.86 tons per percent. If you were to take out co2 generated by private transportation in USA my guess would be that we do not pollute at any higher rate than Europe! The "hidden" agenda behind Kyoto has nothing to do with questionable global warming causes, but is aimed at curbing the US economy so that developing countries that do not have to comply (China, India, Mexico, etc.) can then take over that open market share!

Bush and Kyoto Protocol

hi, i am a student from Chile, in South America, I think your article is amazing, i really liked it, and I agree with you in the fact that United States only care about money and becoming more powerful every day. There were a lot of jokes in my country about the refusing of Bush to sign the Kyoto Protocol. The press said he is kind of stupid. Tomorrow I will read your article to my class, cause' it's very interesting

Good Luck Carolina

Not everyone in the US is a bad guy

I know it's easy for folks outside the US to just hate all Americans for the way our country is being lead right now. However, you need to keep in mind that President Bush BARELY won the election both times, and both times it was a question about whether he won at all. So, you've got at least 50% of the citizens in the united states that do not support the current administration. The majority of people who do support Bush are duped by his propaganda, or are benefitting from his leadership (usually monetarily). So what are we doing about it? Well, since the federal government isn't taking action on key issues like climate change, the state governments are trying to fill the void (like by having renewable energy standards and increasing required fuel efficiency in vehicles). It is not as effective as if the federal government was taking the lead, I agree, but it is something. The point I am trying to make is that Bush does not represent the views of half of his citizens. Trash on the Bush Administration all you want for its actions, but try not to translate that into a hatred for all of us. Not all of us drive Hummers and use energy like it's going out of style. :)
