Czech leader Klaus fights global warming religion”
U.S. President George W. Bush opposes mandatory caps on heat-trapping gases. He pulled the United States out in 2001 of the Kyoto Protocol on global warming, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
In case your memory fails you President Clinton never submitted the Kyoto “treaty” to the senate for ratification because the senate had voted 95 to zero against ratifying the treaty.

We always get reader e-mails when we boil down the U.S./Kyoto background in this way. It would be better to say that Bush in June 2001 rejected U.S. participation in the Kyoto treaty, calling it flawed because big polluters like China and India were exempted and saying that to meet its requirements would hurt the U.S. economy: GBU Editor

Editor, you did not address the fact in your response to Herb that Clinton did in fact not submit the “treaty” because both Republican and Democrats in the Senate rejected it. Nice try on dodging the issue here and blaming Bush again. Exactly what I expect from a rag like yours

Your statement that the abolishment of slavery was in 1865 is incorrect. Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863.

“The United States abolished the practice of slavery in 1865 after a four-year civil war”.
