Well... I identified it as the main 'con' to Kyoto, and then 'marginilized' it as less important than the quality of life on the earth itself. I stand by my 'marginlization'.

Well... I don't see massive incentives OR Kyoto being implemented... were I to see at least one implemented I'd be a happier individual.

The is the biggest problem with Kyoto. It's a huge cash cow. It should take a whole lot less than $12 billion over 7 years to offer incentives for companies to come up with cleaner technology. Incentives may not be the best but ad campaigns, like the useless "One Tonne Challenge", sure don't help.
Sounds good to me. So what does help? What is the answer? And why is more time being spent refuting Kyoto than figuring out a better solution? I've heard a lot more 'no-to-Kyoto' then 'yes-to-anything else'. Thats why I stick by Kyoto; its the only option I see on the table. I would love for other options to crop up, but until they do, I can't sympathize with those who are against Kyoto 'because there are better ways to achieve the goal'. What ways?
