John W. Peterson said "I guess the question I would ask is why would any bright representative of our government agree to such a horribly flawed concept as the Kyoto Treaty? This is an agreement negotiated by our Vice President who would force American businesses to purchase credits from Third World developing countries who are not a part of the agreement. Now, think about that. We debate foreign aid here a lot. We are going to be requiring American businesses under this agreement to be giving dollars to foreign-country developing businesses to compete with us. Horribly flawed concept. More than half of the scientists in this country do not agree to the global warming concept. It is a debate that should continue. But there is not agreement out there." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
