The [[Kyoto Protocol]] is the global warming treaty signed by over half of the world's major countries, with the notable exception for India, China and the United States. It provides for a ban on emissions of "[[greenhouse gases]]" on the trumped-up grounds that such emissions will lead to harmful [[global warming]]. Actually, it is variations in the [[sunspot cycle]], a natural factor beyond human control, which are responsible for most of the ups and downs in atmospheric temperature. However, billions of dollars have been spent to publicize the leftist, environmental point of view, and even supposedly neutral Wikipedia has helped. It was recently that a backlash began turning the tide. British courts require schools showing [[An Inconvenient Truth|Al Gore's documentary]] to point out several scientific mistakes in it. And [[Climategate]] has revealed how supposedly objective scientists and journal publishers colluded to hide evidence against the [[anthropogenic global warming theory]] (AGW). | The [[Kyoto Protocol]] is the global warming treaty signed by over half of the world's major countries, with the notable exception for India, China and the United States.
