Thursday Open Thread: Kyoto Edition
by PubliusToday, in 1998, Vice-President Al Gore signed the Kyoto Protocol (yeah, we don’t know where the constitutional authority is for that either):

Especially, since, by a vote of 95-0, the Senate had already rejected the Kyoto Protocols. Still, Al Gore has been able to parlay his work on the issue into a financial windfall.

Good ol' pompous Al.
There he is, bigger than life. He has been there since the beginning. It is time for US to make it end, and relegate him to the dustbin of history.

The vortex of HOT air created whenever, wherever, Al Gore speaks is enough to melt the polar ice caps. So, Al, shut up and end global warming.

I can't wait to see the "Legends in their own Minds" disappear from DC after the 2010 elelction. Gosh, the wish list keeps growing…..Pelosi, Gore, Kerry, Reid, Feinstein, Boxer, Snowe, Fwank,……….oh joy!!!!!!!
Fwank….LMAO
I hate that guy.
Anybody see South Park parody Glenn Beck last night? All things considered, they took it pretty easy on him.. compared to the guy from that stupid show 'whale wars', or Hillary or Al Gore.
(cont.) Feingold, Rangle, Dodd, Schumer, Durbin, McCaskill, Specter, etc. etc. etc. etc.
Kyoto and its evil spawn are nothing more than opportunities for "poor nations" (Read: Those governed by dictatorial decree and charades posing as democracy rather than by accountable democracies) to throw up veiled barriers to trade, get money from productive nations, and ignore all the rules in agreements to which they fecklessly subscribe in signing Kyoto and any other environmental agreement to curb the pollution they create (Read: China and India).
In the immortal words of King Arthur, "Run away! Run Away!"
Our Founding Fathers warned us about making treaties…This particular treaty needs some attention if really wasn't approved. I'll have to google it and see what's up.
Before any treaty of this kind can even be considered, the"poor nations" that would benefit need to demonstrate political reform is established and coruption is removed. Then again, we would fail on those terms too…
"Run away! Run Away!" LOL!!! Great quote.
Libs and the Constitution…like oil and water.

THE RISE OF THE RIGHT!
A few details. Gore "agreed" in Kyoto in December 1997 on behalf of the U.S. to the Kyoto Protocol despite unanimous Senate instruction not to (Art. II Sec. "advice" of "…and consent"). That is a gesture carrying only political meaning.
The signature was delegated to Acting U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mission Peter Burleigh, who signed Kyoto on behalf of the U.S. in New York on this date in 1998. That is a gesture carrying legal meaning, if not quite to the level of ratificaton, very close: "international law" says until you communicate (formally) an intention to not become a Party a signatory must not violate the signed pact's object and purpose. U.S. courts already have said we're as good as ratified parties to the Law of the Sea Treaty, though we'll only know for sure when that pact's tribunal tries to exercise jurisdiction over us.
But the U.S. never unsigned Kyoto like it did the International Criminal court. The Bush administration decided not to inflame certain people a second time by actually doing what they already thought we did. Don't ask.
Kyoto?
But, of course!
THE REVOLUTION WILL BE APP'D

And now that Kyoto has failed miserably, they want to try again in Copenhagen? Not NO, Al, but HELL NO, Al!
(PS, Algore certainly has prospered since Kyoto, hasn't he? Put on a few pounds since then, haven't you Fatso!)
It's okay because Al has proved he's a Citizen of the World ™ and stuff.
Why in the world would any progressive worry about the constitution, it has no bearing on how they dictate.
Dictators don't need a constitution!
He likes Ketchup with his steak. Look who he married. Don't Tomatos thrive with extra Co2? Might hurt ma's business here, Al boy.
Al Gore needs to be incarcerated for his criminal actions. Using fear tactics and false information for montary benefit is a
SchemeScam that needs to be stopped.And the Marxist purges begin http://www.redstate.com/erick/2009/11/12/obama-ad...
Al Gore is irrelevant
Al Gore- Charlatan, Eco-Fraud Report states if Cap & Trade passes, underclass gets fed subsidy, You burn. Also, rumor has it Tarp money is being used to influence votes on Cap Hill, Hey that Janet Napolitano, what rock did they find her under?
Typical factual inaccuracy from the "low-to-no-information" folks who populate this site. You are confusing Tipper Gore with Teresa Heinz Kerry. The former has nothing to do with ketchup, the latter does. Don't let that bother you though, you fit right in here.
Now we know where all that gas is coming from!
Someone from another post referred me to a site called http://www.Dearpolitician.org to write my politicians. The site is really cool in the fact that it automates everything and you can write your President, Vice President, Senators, and Congressman. The really interesting parts are that you can write complete Senate and Congressional committees. After you write what you want to say in the body of the template, you can print them off and mail them yourself or you can have Dearpolitician.org fax them to their offices instantly for FREE. If you want your letters delivered today, go to that site! Just passing along a cool site!
Big Al Gwhore.
The earth is cooling at a rapid rate and by my calculations, the polar bears will be able to walk down to the U.S. within the next 10 years.
The will sure make a mess out of strip malls and shopping centers.
The math I used you ask? Well its the same math you used to lie about glo-ball warming oh I mean climate change. I just reversed your grossley exaggerated numbers to show the earth cooling instead of warming.
Hey! That makes me a scientist doesn't it? I deserve a certificate or something.
The filthy liar you turned out to be.
Your family must be proud.
