Via Instapundit,
A vote against Kyoto is a vote for sanity.
While there is a lot of debate about the validity of the climate model predictions, interpretation of the effects of anthropogenic CO2 emissions on global climate, there should be little debate on this:
Kyoto is an extremely bad economic policy, and should never have been adopted to start with. The Copenhagen Consensus rated it in their lowest category “poor” and ranked it 16th out of 17 global policies they considered. Actually I though they were being generous. They should have created a new category “abysmally stupid”.
It is the fact that the global warming advocates embrace such an embarrassingly flawed treaty that undercuts any faith that I would have in their ability to objectively evaluate the science of global warming.
This week’s announcement by the Canadian government—that it may join a U.S.-led coalition focused on voluntary emissions cuts—could be part of a global shift away from Kyoto’s binding targets.
