Abstract

Despite growing consensus in the scientific community that increasing carbon dioxide emissions is causing global climate change, the Bush Administration decided in 2001 to not comply with the Kyoto Protocol to reduce U.S. carbon dioxide emissions, citing that this would have grave consequences for the American economy, and that global warming is still a scientific uncertainty.
