Kyoto Cooling

On this symbolic date, it seems worthwhile to reflect that the planet has not only cooled since George W. Bush took office – pause and let the significance of that one sink in – but began to chill significantly at almost precisely the moment that we signed the Kyoto Protocol, exactly ten years ago today.

It’s too bad President Bush didn’t really “unsign” or otherwise “withdraw [sic] from” it. We might have been able to avert this disturbing trend. But of course, you're very well read and already knew that.
