Montreal Climate Summit - Day Two

From an AP article:
"U.S. under fire as Kyoto Protocol members hash out rules for global treaty to cut greenhouse gas emissions "

This 10 day America Bash is being attended by 8,000 environmentalists, scientists and government officials.

"U.S. comments that it would resist any binding commitment to curb global warming by capping industrial emissions infuriated environmentalists, who accused Washington of trying to derail the U.N. Climate Change Conference.

"When you walk around the conference hall here, delegates are saying there are lots of issues on the agenda, but there's only one real problem, and that's the United States," said Bill Hare of Greenpeace International."

So the environmentalists are infuriated because the US claims that:
1. It has reduced carbon emissions more than the Kyoto signatories.
2. In regard to the 2005 Hurricanes, there is a difference between climate and extreme weather.

Who elected these enviros to any office? Why must a soverign nation's energy policy be directed by a cabal of unknown watermelons?
