IF WE REALLY WANT TO IMPROVE THE ENVIRONMENT IN A WAY WHICH WILL IMPROVE THE HUMAN CONDITION, THEN WE SHOULD FOCUS ON WATER AND NOT GREENHOUSE GASES

MORE PROOF THAT KYOTO IS BS: BBC:

Almost 20% of the world's population still lacks access to safe drinking water because of failed policies, an influential report has concluded. ... One billion people without access to clean drinking water ... 2.6 billion without adequate sanitation

More on sensible environmental priorities HERE and also HERE. More on how KYOTO and "green credits/taxes" and trading carbon/CO2 is a huge scam HERE.

And HERE, a scientist thoroughly DEBUNKS man-made global-warming; EXCERPT:

... scientific evidence clearly indicates the global warming in the last 100 years is likely not due mostly to human activities. The first thing to note is that the 100 years of global warming occurred in two stages -- a temperature rise of approximately a half-degree Fahrenheit early in the century from 1910 to 1940, and another half-degree temperature rise toward the end of the century in the 1980s and 1990s.

Between these two periods of warming, from the 1940s to the 1970s, the earth actually cooled somewhat. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide cannot cool the planet; they can only warm it. ...

Scientific facts indicate that all the temperature changes observed in the last 100 years were largely natural changes and were not caused by carbon dioxide produced in human activities. At least one distinguished member of the NAS panel agrees. Richard Lindzen, professor of meteorology at MIT, highly respected atmospheric physicist, and member of the National Academy of Sciences as well as the special NAS panel on global warming, said in a recent commentary, "

I cannot stress this enough -- we [cannot] confidently attribute past climate change to carbon dioxide."

Using socialistic and draconian measures - (which unscrupulous traders exploit to reap personal profits even as they raise OUR cost of energy) - to limit the growth of greenhouse gases (which are in fact UNRELEATED to global-warming) is JUST PLAIN STUPID.

Let's raise and spend enough money to improve water treatment and water distribution in the Third World, instead of wasting time and money on Kyoto. We can more quickly improve the lives of more people, if we do.
