International Wire Service Wrong, Again

I hate having to do this, repeatedly, but revisionist history only works as a reinterpretation of the facts, not making up new facts:

The Kyoto Protocol is the only global accord on cutting so-called greenhouse gas emissions, but it lapses after 2012 and was rejected by the United States in 2001 as economic suicide because it is not binding on booming emitters China and India.

The Kyoto Protocol was rejected in 1997 by the Senate voting not to ratify the treaty, 95-0. This was a failure of leadership under the Clinton-Gore administration, not the Bush administration, which simply continued the previous policies of no emissions caps, no emissions trading, and voluntary reduction of greenhouse gases through incentives for technological solutions and exploration of alternative energy sources.
