| 1. I believe all
people and earth are seriously threatened by the following: |
|
|
| 2. My
understanding of the Kyoto Protocol is: |
|
|
| 3. The United
States: |
|
|
| 4. The United
States should: |
Agree
to follow the protocol
Not agree to follow the protocol |
|
| 5. December
2, 2003: The New York Times reported, "A senior Kremlin official declared
Tuesday that Russia would not ratify the international treaty requiring cuts in the
emissions of gases linked to global warming, delivering what could be a fatal blow to
years of diplomatic efforts...." In October 2004, Russia signed the Kyoto
Agreement. |
Russia
did the right thing
Russia should not have signed the treaty |
|
| 6. Cato
Institute's Senior Fellow Patrick Michaels writes in the "The Consequences of
Kyoto," that "The Kyoto agreement -- if fully complied with -- would likely
reduce the gross domestic product of the United States by 2.3%
each year."
The rules of
Kyoto mandate that about 40 industrialized
nations cut their emissions by an average of 5.2%
below 1990 levels by 2008-12. However,
developing countries, including China and
India, do not have targets under Kyoto.
These countries claim that
the rich,
industrial states must lead in cutting
emissions because they fueled
their economies with coal, oil and gas since the Industrial
Revolution.
The agreement signed on December 9, 2005,
on a Kyoto renewal road map
will give members seven years to negotiate
and ratify accords by the time the first Kyoto
phase ends in 2012. |
I don't care if my job might be lost
due to industrial cutbacks.
I
don't care that lesser-developed nations will be given an unfair economic opportunity to
advance &
overwhelm the US economy.
Kyoto
is a bad treaty for industrialized as well as developing nations because every nation's
progress will be inhibited. |
|
| 7. Production
and accumulation of carbon dioxide, CO2, is a major subject
of the Kyoto Protocol. |
Agree
Disagree |
|
| 8. There is a
fluorocarbon gas created in heavy industrial processes such as steel making that has
10,000 times the global warming impact than CO2. |
I did
not know that
I knew that
And also, all steel
production should cease immediately |
|
| 9. Global
warming is: |
A problem that should be addressed & resolved with
new technologies over coming years as industrial processes evolve & improve
A problem that should be addressed & resolved
immediately at all costs to progress & industrial output should be stopped until it is
resolved!
I am so concerned that I drive a little dinkmobile car
that has almost no acceleration
I am
confused |
|
| 10. Global
warming is increased when excess CO2 floats to upper
atmospheric levels. It is also caused by: |
Solar activities such as flares &
eruptions
Cows & other farm animals
Many un-CO2
related gaseous by products of industrial processes
All
of the above |
|
| 11. I wear a
Kyoto Protocol T-shirt. |
Agree & it's anti-Kyoto protocol
Agree & it's pro-Kyoto protocol
Disagree |
|
| 12.
Implementation of the Kyoto Protocol would inhibit industrial output of the largest
industrial nation, the United States, and thereby provide lesser nations with an
industrial advantage. |
Of course
I did not know that |
|
|
13. The Kyoto Protocol demands that the more
industrialized a nation is, the more it must cut its industrial output. That would
inhibit industrial output of the largest industrialized nations --
Japan, the United States,
Germany, etc. --
thereby providing less-industrialized nations with an
unfair advantage. |
Of course
I did not know that |
