Had we decided that we were going to adhere to the Kyoto treaty, we would have been putting our resources these last years into developing and perfecting technologies that would provide us with renewable, non-polluting sources of power (nuclear is not one of those) instead of devoting all of our resources to fighting wars over oil. Had we done that, we would then have been in a position to sell those technologies to China so that they would be able to sign on to Kyoto themselves.

But we didn't. That is the fault of the Bush administration.
