Sorrow will come in the end

If you want to refresh your ammo load on the travesty that is the Kyoto Treaty, Take a look at this story from Samizdata that talks about the estimates that "by 2010, Kyoto will cost the UK around US$35 billion a year, and result in the permanent loss of half a million jobs".

But the earth will have that "Spring-Time Fresh Scent" year around, right? Nope. Airplanes landing in the major cities in Asia, who are virtually unaffected by any of the Kyoto restrictions on western countries, will still have to fly through smog so thick that the pilots must be experienced in instrument only landings to be able to land safely.

The figures used in the story above come from this study (in PDF format) entitled "Kyoto Protocol and Beyond: The Economic Cost to the UK". Scary stuff brothers and sisters.
