Gaelic, this will have to be brief, its Saturday night.
This figure you repeatedly quote of only one country having ratified the Kyoto treaty: where do you get it from? Try 84 countries having signed it and 31 having ratified it, as of 27/11/00. Check the link below if you don't believe me.

The EU is committed to ratifying the treaty by 2002 (which calls for a 5.2% reduction from the 1990 CO2 levels by 2008 -2012), while the UK has unilaterally committed itself to a reduction of 20% by 2012.
As to the science, well, the majority consensus is that it is sound. My first degree was in International Politics, specialising in Third World politics and the International Politics of the Environment. As such, I do have some idea about what I'm talking about.
btw, I'm not that bothered how you elect your president, I merely pointed out that I understood he didn't get the msot votes. It was a merely a point of fact. If it rattles you, well, thats your look out.

Fear? I know not the meaning of the word. And you can keep that dictionary away from me!
