  3. Kyoto is more than simply reform Kyoto reflects a worry about a destructive and dominant anthropocentric, capitalist backed scientific climate Signing Kyoto means condemning the accomplishments of scientific pursuits and rationalist anthropocentrism!!! And so the argument begins…

  4. Does Kyoto put restrictions on the natural evolution of humanity? What about survival of the fittest!?!? Allow for natural selection! Kyoto is “rerouting” natural selection! http://msnbcmedia1.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/070208/070208_darwin_vmed_10a.widec.jpg

  5. What does god think of Kyoto? Animals Are Machines! Genesis – 1:26 “…Let us make man in our image…letthem ruleover…all the creatures that move along the ground." Genesis – 1:28 “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it” Oui!!! René Descartes http://www.mathematik.ch/mathematiker/Descartes.jpg

  6. Cost of Kyoto in U.S.A Roughly $300 billion per year (Baliunas, 2002). The cost to humanity is too great! Job cuts petrol price hikes recession, further poverty in developing countries! Oh, yeah But continued atmospheric destruction is going to drown those countries anyway!!!
