I believe that the Kyoto Protocol was a great idea in an attempt to reduce GHG emissions. However, as with any set of rules there are always ways to get around being punished. The JI and CDM parts of the Protocol allow countries to get out of making great sacrifices. As we live on this planet and use all the resources, we are very responsible for it. Sacrifices and compromises must be made if we plan to continue living here. We will eventually use up all the resources, so we must develop new ways of creating energy before it is too late.
The United States should join the Kyoto Treaty, or at least encourage companies to reduce emission levels. Every little step adds up to a greater one.

What do you think it will take for the U.S. to join? Do you think a new president will make the difference?
You are so right that we all interconnected and as you've said before, if not everyone follows the protocols, then we all suffer. So, what should we be doing?
I agree with your opinion. I feel however that the United States should have joined the protocol, to better the economy and our future. I feel however that it was a great attempt toward becoming 100% green.
Charlie, I agree with you! I think this is a very effective step to reduce emissions. Is there anything we can do to try to convince the U.S. to join? Maybe writing letters to our senator?
