Kyoto Protocol to be Reviewed
An agreement was reached today at UN climate talks in Kenya. A review of the Protocol will take place and end in 2008. This agreement follows an impasse between the the 70 environmental ministers on how to decide the effectiveness of the Protocol. I would really like to see the US takes environmental issues more seriously and it appears the recent elections may help. Democrats are currently pushing President Bush to reduce greenhouse gases. However, they still face Bush's stance that there is no need regulate industrial carbon dioxide, a position he has taken since 2001.

UPDATE: Even Senator McCain thinks Bush's global warming position is ridiculous. "They're simply not complying with the law. It's incredible."
