Beestie, it sounds like your complaints are with the nature of economics, which is a very viable argument. The Kyoto Treaty however, in my opinion, shouldn't be held back because it may be bad for our economics. Our economic system, hell the whole industrialized world's economics, is a complete mess and will never find a balance. If the Kyoto Treaty is signed and adhered to by even just the U.S. we would help start the trend towards helping the planet, and we would have to mess with our economic system like we always do. Regardless, the U.S. would continue outsourcing/importing everything (also known as giving away the farm, etc).
