These mayors definitely arent among those. Even our most hard core global warming fans on this board hate the Kyoto Treaty.

Oh. I didn't realise that.
Nope, I still think that something (regardless of its flaws) is better than nothing (or to be more precise the continuing and increasing poisening of the planet).

That is fuzzy (and dangerous) thinking; when evaluating anything costs/benefits must be weighed. Serious flaws can make a given plan worse than no plan at all in some cases. Do you know enough about Kyoto to be sure that is not the case?

Kyoto does not have serious flaws.

Properly not enough no. But I do now that the US's unwillingness to discuss that a problem even exists is, shall we say, a little short-sighted.
