The Kyoto Protocol, an agreement by several countries to limit the amount of greenhouse gasses their industry produces, went into effect today.
There's serious flaws to the agreement that, in my opinion, prevent it from being anything more than a feel-good measure designed to mollify the Green Party. Developing nations, the largest growing pollution producers, are exempt from any controls. It also seems to be designed more as a way to cripple the US economy than as an effective tool against pollution.
An article to save for "discussion."
This blog supports John Kerry for president
She makes some good points, especially about electoral colleges and that change in this nation must come from the state level. But I disagree, somewhat vehemently, with her last paragraph. The quickest way to explain my split is that where she writes "we", I would change to "I" (meaning Kasia, not me). "We" need to mind "our" own business. And what point does she attempt to make linking nationwide health care costs with childhood asthma?
It is a happy coincidence to start and finish with Techdirt articles.
