AP Lies About Kyoto
The AP lies or probably more politely “gets it wrong again” about Kyoto and George W. Bush.
Under the administration of U.S. President Bill Clinton, the United States joined a U.N. meeting in Kyoto and agreed to the protocol. But the United States rejected it under the administration of President George W. Bush, Clinton’s successor.
Big Hat Tip to Power Line Blog who had this to say:
Readers with a long memory may recall that the United States never adopted the Kyoto Protocol because the Clinton administration never submitted it for ratification to the Senate. The Clinton administration never submitted it to the Senate for ratification because in July 1997 the Senate voted 95-0 to adopt a resolution stating that ”the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol to, or other agreement regarding, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change of 1992, at negotiations in Kyoto.”
Thanks to these guys for continuing to correct the AP. This is not the first and certainly won’t be the last.
