I was shocked to read this article you linked to. There are several egregious omissions and outright errors. This is the "Voice of America"?

For instance:

The article states that the U.S. has not signed the Kyoto treaty. Er, actually, it has. It hasn't ratified the treaty -- something that our Constitution requires the Senate to do before a treaty takes legal effect here in the States.

The article erroneously places all of the blame for the U.S. failure to ratify the treaty at the feet of the Bush administration. It neglects to mention that President Clinton, despite signing the treaty, never formally presented it to the Senate for ratification. Nevertheless, in 1997 the Senate, in a rare instance of bipartisan unanimity, voted to reject the treaty.

The article also neglected to mention any skepticism over the claims of global-warming activists, instead presenting the view that global warming is a manmade catastrophe as an unchallenged truism.

Finally, the article also failed to mention the irony that Italy itself has not ratified the Kyoto treaty.
