Global Warming and the Kyoto Agreement
Despite the effect on world population and melting of the glaciers, the U.S. will not approve the Kyoto Agreement~ Idea 6259 ~
In December 2003 humanity learned with dismay that during the summer 21,000 people died in Europe as a result of excessive heat (more than 40 degrees Celsius), that the glaciers of the North and South Poles had lost three meters of their height, that this could mean an increase in the height of the seas and oceans levels, and that the surface of the depleted ozonosphere of our atmosphere had reached the size of China.
And all this was insufficient to induce the USA to agree with and sign the Kyoto Agreement for the reduction of carbon dioxide in the world. The reason given for the refusal: it would harm business, the economy.
