I don't think it's so much about bleeding people as much as it is two things: One is to make Al Gore relevant as well as a few bucks through his "carbon credits" business/scam. He thought he was going to be president, but the people voted otherwise -- mo matter what the lefties think about Florida.
The other aspect is to economically hamstring the U.S. in particular, which since has been surpassed by China as the greatest contributor of CO2. Never mind that CO2 is a natural gas with about 97 percent of it occurring through the natural order.
And never mind that Al Gore was the U.S. representative at the Kyoto Conference and nixed the idea of having the U.S. sign on. Clinton agreed and refused to sign it.
Sorry, wrong again as usual it was shrub.!!!!

U.S. President George W. Bush said Thursday he would work with Germany and other U.S. allies to devise a plan that will reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, but effectively rejected implementing the Kyoto agreement.
The Bush administration has said Congress wouldn't ratify the agreement and Bush himself says concerns over the slowing U.S. economy are paramount.
We'll be working with Germany, we'll be working with our allies to reduce greenhouse gases, but I will not accept anything that will harm our economy and hurt our American workers, Bush said at a news conference.
Do you ever know what you are talking about? The U.S. never signed on to Kyoto...

"The Clinton administration, with Gore's guidance, refused to allow the Republican controlled Senate to decide on the Kyoto Protocol for themselves. Gore advised Clinton not to send the Protocol to the Senate to be ratified."
Maybe you should stick to pretending to know about Canadian politics, because you sure don't know squat about the U.S.
"In 1997 a protocol was adopted at Kyoto under which countries formally undertook to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by specific percentages of the 1990 levels. Bill Clinton hailed the Protocol as a historic agreement and signed it in November 1998. [But President Bush from 2001 opposed it and acted to] overturn his predecessor's signature of the Protocol, reverse an election pledge to treat carbon dioxide as a pollutant and revert to actions solely driven by domestic economic concerns." [General Sir Hugh Beach]
Clinton agreed and refused to sign it..those are your words lips, only they are wrong
And never mind that Al Gore was the U.S. representative at the Kyoto Conference and nixed the idea of having the U.S. sign on....and here are more wrong words by you because all you have to do is read the above.. [But President Bush from 2001 opposed it and acted to] overturn his predecessor's signature of the Protocol,
So maybe you should do some more studying EH dense one
