– The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change, a subcomponent of Agenda 21.
• The major feature of the Kyoto Protocol is that it sets binding targets for
37 industrialized countries and the European community for reducing
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
• These amount to an average of five per cent against 1990 levels over the
five-year period 2008-2012.
• Kyoto targets “Climate Change” by way of three market-based
mechanisms
– Emissions trading – known as “the carbon market“
– Clean development mechanism (CDM) (investment credit scheme)
– Joint implementation (emission reduction projects)
– The US Senate rejected the Kyoto Protocols and George Bush declined to
support it post election


Contravenes BTPP criteria

–
FISCAL CONSERVATISM
•
Federal, State and Local Taxes are used to:

Fund development of UN Policies

Fund advisors from International Council for Local Environmental
Initiatives (ICLEI) who actively guide the process per to UN criteria
LIMITED GOVERNMENT
Agenda 21 bypasses Constitutional processes-activities are not
accomplished under US Constitutional Laws or Congress
FREE MARKET
Non-Government Organizations (NGO’s) possess both Implementation

Choice of markets to address human problems are mandated by
Government or by Non-Government entities (NGO’s)
