It is incorrect as this item says that George W. Bush "ditched" the Kyoto Protocol in 2001. The U S Senate rejected Kyoto four years earlier. The Byrd-Hagel Resolution (SRes 98) passed on July 25, 1997, by a margin of 95-0. The resolution stated that the U.S. Senate wiould not ratify the treaty as-signed at Kyoto, and consequently the Clinton-Gore administration gave up on it.
