Yahoo! News -- US says it won't budge on approach to climate change

Yahoo! News - US says it won't budge on approach to climate change:

"The United States, the world's largest producer of global-warming gases, said it will not change its approach to climate change, charging that the Kyoto Protocol was not underpinned by scientific fact, but based on politics.

"Some delegates at an international climate change conference here lamented Washington's stance, saying the problem of global warming is accelerating much faster than previously believed.

"But Washington's senior climate change negotiator, Harlan Watson, appeared unruffled.

"'Kyoto is a political agreement, it's not based on science,' he said, adding 'we do not intend to change our approach' to climate change."

As my son would say, Arghh!
