Another liberal rag simply misleading the public:
For the first time since President Bush rejected the international Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gases, momentum is building in the Senate to begin addressing global warming.

Uh, no, assholes, the US Senate voted 95-0 not to ratify this bullshit agreement.

Why does the media insist on lying about this?

Actually, wasn't it Clinton and not Bush who initially said that the US wouldn't ratify it? The original Kyoto treaty was from 1997, as I recall.

Props to him for recognizing the treaty for what it was: A way to punish the USA. Sure, we produce more greenhouse gases than any other country, but we also manufacture more goods than any other country and have more environmental regulations (generally speaking) than any other country.

Germans like to blame smog from the US for acid rain in the black forest, among other things. Last time I checked, they still used leaded gasoline. They might want to start there before pointing fingers at our side of the pond. Assholes.

The article doesn't say the Senate is considering the Protocol. It says that global warming will be addresses, which is true, since the energy bill is on the Senate floor this week and it will undoubtedly contain amendments aimed at capping emissions.

No, Variable, Clinton sent it to the Senate for ratification.

Degenerate, missed the point a little, didn't you?
