UN controls US forest thinning?

All treaties are give and take - not in the best interests of anyone, but in the good interests of everyone, hopefully. Environmental issues have longer term and more difficult to measure payoff than many other issues, but the people who signed the treaty considered it to be in the interests of the US.

Bush does not seem to be happy with the idea of abiding by treaties his predecessors signed, and he has shown willingness to break them when he can, so you may get your wish. Unfortunately, it is at the cost of US diplomatic credibility.
