The Kyoto treaty was defeated 95-0 in the US senate. I believe this was largely because of the exemption of the developing nations. In the USA we already have stricter emission standards, etc. than in developing countries. Examples exist. Correct me if I am wrong--I am going largely by my own personal experiences abroad and in the USA. And I see no reason why we should unilaterally hobble ourselves economically.
Clean air and water is good. Standards should be in place. But global warming as a direct result of human activity is an unproven hypothesis.
