That's not even the case...
Far be it from me to defend Jolinar, but you both are jumping to conclusions about the other that aren't true. His conclusions about you are much easier to refute (and have been done before), which is why I'm directing this at you.. and Hulkrogan.. and all the others who want to assume what he's thinking.
This sounds exactly like what the Liberals did after they signed onto the agreement however many years ago. I will admit that they tried a few initiatives, but with very limited success. Now they want to bring it back? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Fair points. I guess for me, there's a difference between putting the onus on individuals and putting it on corporations and governments--but you're right that we're not that far from being on the same page--though I would also argue that where I think Kyoto was an ineffective proposal that wouldn't have done enough to curtail emissions, jolinar thinks it would have caused the economy to crash. It's possible that both are true--all the more reason to come up with another alternative.
