Here's my take on all this.

Earth's atmonsphere is 79% Nitrogen, 20% Oxygen, 1% trace elements.
Kyoto Treaty wants USA to reduce CO2 emissions, China and India excluded.
Many countries in the world are envious of the USA's economy, Kyoto Treaty would be a good thing for those countries.
Volcanic activity affects Earth's climate more that man. Mt. Pinatubo (sp?) blows, small but detectable temp. drop due to the dust in the atmosphere.
Venus is an extreme example of the greenhouse effect. Hot as hell, also closer to the Sun that Earth.
Dire predictions of large temperature increases have not been proven and models have been modified to reflect this. Chicken little the sky is falling as yet unproven. Also, computer models have a problem called 'Sensitivity to Initial Conditions'.
Forest fires in the Western USA release large amounts of CO2. Some set by the FEDS.

I'm not convinced that it's such a huge problem. I think we can make some changes but not to the point of undoing the US economy.

Look at Ozone depletion. Dire predictions have not materialized. Some changes have been made, propellants, A/C in cars. Remember, if it were such a big problem, we would be making the stuff and putting it up there.

I'm not convinced. I think politics are playing a large part in this. I could be wrong though.
