[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Chances a lib will push Kyoto?

I know that many of us are concerned for our firearms. This is a gun board, isn't it? Well, what about the Kyoto Protocol. I read somewhere that if passed, it would pretty much destroy our economy. Could this be another reason to keep a lib out of office?

Kyoto is bullshit.

Its an unreachable goal, as most who signed it are now finding out, and paying fines for.

It is estimated that by 2008 to 2012 punitive fines of €1-4 billion per year will hit the Irish economy as a result of our failure to meet targets agreed under the Kyoto protocol (1997). It is a fact that Ireland persists in being the most dependent country in the EU on imported, environmentally damaging, fast depleting fossil fuels – and that this dependency is a major factor inhibiting our ability to reach these targets.

Ouch! Smooth move.

The Kyoto treaty itself is dead. But don't worry, the next treaty they hammer out will be worse . . .

From the articles I've read Kyoto is dying. People have finally seen the actual consequences of it and many countries have expressed a desire to withdraw completely.

Gee, I wonder why?

I follow this market closely. Carbon finance is absolutely NOT dying.

In 2007, over $100,000,000 was spent on a COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY BASIS by US-based companies to buy carbon offsets without any legislative requirement.

Actually, there is plenty of rational that this might actually kick start the economy. A lot of new construction would have to happen in order to put in place the facillities that would be used to meet Kyoto.
