It doesn't sound ideal, but kudos for bringing up an alternative to Kyoto.

There are issues with this proposal as well. It isn't ideal, but it has different strenghts and weaknesses from what Kyoto does.
The idea is to spur discussion and come up with better ideas, not to silence opposition to existing ones.
