I believe article 17 of Kyoto had to do with trading CO2 credits. What's different with this? Screw this and screw Kyoto. We are a sovereign nation of free people. Our free market is more than capable of coming up with solutions to real problems and I don't consider CO2 a problem as there are plently of natural causes that many scientists think may be responsible for the recent heating.
And this is exactly why I have been saying Kyoto is nothing more than a global redistribution scheme designed to reduce the globabl disparity in jobs and wealth. If you and other liberals are concerned with this (I am actually in that I wish ALL nations had great economies and standards of living) then what you need to do is export what values that made America great: Liberty, freedom, the right to own private property, a democratic Republic form of government, free press, etc. Kramer
