When the National Academy of Science, the IPCC, the American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science all come to the same conclusion I think we can claim a general consensus. And almost anything I've ever read lately that denies human cause is coming directly from industry flacks or flat-earthers.

Thus, it needs to be addressed.

I have never liked Kyoto because I saw way too many inequities in it. I like the Brookings recommendation for addressing it. It seems fair.

Even pre-911 and pre-Iraq, there was already some international animosity for the US because we did not ratify Kyoto. I didn't get that because the inequities of Kyoto were clear to me. With a more equitable agreement, we could ratify it and give the global community some assurance that we will address emissions. Fostering trust is good for our economy in this global society.
