I'm not saying by this which side of the argument I'm on, btw. It's a
balancing act.

If you are suggesting that Kyoto will crash the global economy then
just look and see what affect exceeding the terms of Kyoto has had
on the British economy.

OK... it's clear I have to say (and was probably clear anyway from a
previous message of mine in this thread), where I stand. I think we
should pressurise the Americans to sign up to Kyoto. I was merely
pointing out in the above that a downturn in the economy *can* lead
to starvation (it had been asserted, or at least implied, that it couldn't).

But clearly, if we were to abandon all fossil fuels tomorrow, we'd have
big problems (and people would starve, because food would not get to them).
That's why there is a balancing act.
