The current President, George W. Bush, has indicated that he does not intend to submit the treaty for ratification, not because he doesn't support the general idea, but because he is not happy with the details of the treaty. For example, he does not support the split between Annex I countries and others. Bush said of the treaty:
"The world's second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases is China. Yet, China was entirely exempted from the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol. This is a challenge that requires a 100 percent effort; ours, and the rest of the world's. America's unwillingness to embrace a flawed treaty should not be read by our friends and allies as any abdication of responsibility. To the contrary, my administration is committed to a leadership role on the issue of climate change. Our approach must be consistent with the long-term goal of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere."
China emits 2,893 million metric tons of CO2 per year (2.3 tons per capita). This compares to 5,410 million from the USA (20.1 tons per capita), and 3,171 million from the EU (8.5 tons per capita). China has since ratified the Kyoto Protocol, and is expected to become an Annex I country within the next decade. The US Natural Resources Defense Council, stated in June 2001 that: "By switching from coal to cleaner energy sources, initiating energy efficiency programs, and restructuring its economy, China has reduced its carbon dioxide emissions 17 percent since 1997".
IOW not only will China be subject to the requirements in a few years, they already made a larger reduction than the US has to make. And unlike the US, both China and India actually do use modern technologies for their new plants.
The fact that Bush is scared just shows how much of a plan he has for economic growth.
Well, since you left out an important part of his post, why the hell shouldn't I take you literal? Are you really just being obtuse to cause an argument?
The difference is that the tobacco companies knew smoking was lethal (and no, being a drug is not the same as being lethal), and not only withheld that information, but still said it was good for the health. They also added poisonous substances to make cigarettes "easier" to smoke. Bleeding heart Libertarian.
Any warning along the lines of "Get the hell out of SF before 5pm tonight!" would probably cost more lives in the ensuing chaos than it would save from the earthquake.
Unless you insist on having full access to all features of the two cores, why should the dual core chip have a different pinout than the single core one? You put the shared memory bus plus arbiter logic from the mobo into the chip, same with the interupt logic. Now this doesn't help with the low bus-bandwidth of the previous G4s, but would be entirely possible.

3. They didn't use a rock to gain entry.
The fact that he did not claim that the Colonel used a typewriter or typesetter must have conveniantly missed you.
There pretty little chance of a Vietcong blowing you up while you get drunk in a bar in Alabam.
Argh, that's the new Goatse!
Yeah, another one of your attempts to escaped has been foiled.

You said a German could only be a patriot if he said he loved America. Then you changed.
If the food starts to blink, the 5 seconds are almost over.
Well, if you're going to change what you said, then I agree with you.
And while we're at it, why didn't he deliver the DVD to my house for free?
2 good 15" CRTs and a used Dnjepr.

Might as well claim that the US hasn't been stable until Hawaii joined as the 50th state in 1959.
Ahh, but the USA is occupied by the ZOG of the UN. Or so some say.
Because Iraq was a Republic under Saddam. Do you even know what a Republic is?
Ahh, but Bush believes the much smaller camp of lumberjacks who say it's a Beech, just because he can sell it for more.
Are you trying to prove that x $ spend on spreading lies is a better investment than spending 10x $ on telling the truth?
Well, every non-American patriot will rightfully tell you you're nuts.
Sorry for the missunderstanding.
And why should England give a damn about a war in the former colonies? A war that was about who "The People" are?
Let me guess, you own a huge share of one of the booming prison technology suppliers?
