I could be wrong, but it's my understanding that the aspects of the treaty were "ironed out" back in 1997 when it was signed.
wrong. Congress ratifies treaties, not Presidents. Clinton signed Kyoto knowing full well that there was no way in hell it would pass through congress, even if it were to fall under Democratic control.
Whoops. I completely forgot about that and the 95-0 Senate vote. :oops:

I guess I've been brainwashed by all the liberal propaganda. ;)
