Wednesday September 28, 2005
Will the Bush Administration's decision to withdraw the United States from the Kyoto Protocol weaken international efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, or put the world on a better course?

USA should ratify the Kyoto Protocol, and faster! In fact, there is allready the need for a new protocol, more drastic, and more adapted to the actual realities!

Of course Kyoto should be ratified! The U.S. needs to join with all the other industrialized countries in ratifying Kyoto, it needs to become an active participant in planning for our modern world.

I think that they should make significant steps in the ratification and extension of this treaty. The peril that our planet faces is becoming increaigly dire and an all encompassing solution is mandatory. All nations have a stake in the degeneration of the environment. Perharps, a review of the treaty is needed to make it more enticing.
