Al Gore Blasts Canada For Pulling Out Of Kyoto Protocol

That, of course, would be the same Kyoto Protocol that Al’s boss Bill Clinton didn’t submit to the Senate for ratification. The same one, in fact, that Al’s Democrat colleagues in the Senate unanimously decided was not in the best interest of America to sign.
From Wikipedia:

On July 25, 1997, before the Kyoto Protocol was finalized (although it had been fully negotiated, and a penultimate draft was finished), the U.S. Senate unanimously passed by a 95–0 vote the Byrd-Hagel Resolution (S. Res. 98), which stated the sense of the Senate was that the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol that did not include binding targets and timetables for developing as well as industrialized nations or “would result in serious harm to the economy of the United States”. On November 12, 1998, Vice President Al Gore symbolically signed the protocol. Both Gore and Senator Joseph Lieberman indicated that the protocol would not be acted upon in the Senate until there was participation by the developing nations. The Clinton Administration never submitted the protocol to the Senate for ratification.

Gore can call Canada’s new environmental plan a “fraud” all he wants, but it looks to me like Canada is finally coming to its sense on Kyoto more than anything else.
