Various numbers and the assumptions they are based on can be disputed and
not just in one direction, the figures I gave are not the most pessimistic,
but I don't know of anyone who claims the Kyoto Protocols even if followed
to the letter will significantly slow global warming. This is a gesture to
make people feel good about themselves; I must be a good person because I'm
at least doing "something". Well, there is nothing wrong with gestures but
this is the most expensive one in the history of the world, so expensive it
will keep millions in poverty who need not be.
