What a very closed minded statement!

If a guy needs his leg amputated due to gangrene and a person offers up the solution of using a doublebarrelled shotgun to perform the operation. It hardly takes a rocket scientist to figure out that that is a bad idea and everyone should try and come up with a different idea...even if one is not readily available at the time.

The money that will be thrown away on Kyoto can be put into R&D while we think of a better idea. With maglev technology and such we can already travel faster and cleaner. What we need is to make it economically viable.
Yes, making corporations reduce emissions is akin to blowing one's leg off with a shotgun.

Is it possibly not the most efficient usage of capital? Yes. But c'mon, you can come up with a better metaphor than that...
