I distinctly recall the shock waves when the Bush administration sidestepped the Kyoto climate agreement [1].

In 2001, US stance on the Kyoto Protocol held sway, and its ratification might have supercharged global climate efforts / green technological advancements.

It's ironic that some skeptics label what amounts to broad scientific consensus as being part of a "death cult"; classic projection.
