Nothing we do will stop the earth`s changes, we can clean up our act and reduce the population (not likely though), but that will not stop the earth cycling. Destroying the west`s economies with tin pot schemes to redistribute the wealth won`t help anything, it`ll make things worse.
The only place the world is getting warmer is in the Arctic. Everywhere else the Earth's temperature is dropping, heck if global warming continues, we`ll freeze to death LOL

This is Poland's response
"Quite frankly, from our point of view it's totally unacceptable that the poor countries of Europe should help the rich countries of Europe to help the poor countries in the rest of the world," said Polish Finance Minister Jan Rostowski.

BTW, both of these clauses were inserted in the original Kyoto Protocol by European bureaucrats who hijacked the final IPCC process, but there has always been a large political agenda ready to monopolize the discourse.
The second clause was designed specifically to cripple the USA. The main factor for Clinton's refusal to get on board was that the penalties were "to be specified later", and guess what, fifteen years later those "penalties" for exceeding 1990 emissions have still not been identified.
George Bush similarly avoided "the trap", whilst Al Gore was less than forthright to Americans et al re: the Kyoto deficiencies.
