This is really off topic, but I couldn't help responding to this.
That's nonsense. The Kyoto Accords would not have been ratified even had
Gore would have won. There was an excellent article in The Economist a
couple months ago about this. Please see:
http://www.economist.com/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=561509
Or to summarise (here's the last paragraph of the article):
---
...
Such an outcome seems less fanciful when one considers that it is not
only green groups, or even the ordinary punter, that wants action on
climate change. Many of America's biggest businesses, ranging from
DuPont to United Technologies, and even to coal-fired utilities like
AEP, support action on climate change and want regulatory certainty on
the question of carbon. Those are the sorts of voices that Mr Bush
should heed. One of Mr Bush's top lieutenants this week even
insisted that his boss would be a world leader on this issue. The
ultimate irony of the past two weeks' coruscating attacks on the
American president is that he could yet turn out to be Kyoto's
saviour after all.
