There's a simple answer to this question: if he happens to be a Republican, then anything he disagrees with, even a tiny little bit, must be the fault of the Democrats. (Last I checked, the Administration currently in power happens to be Republican...but why bring up silly little technicalities like this?)

The environmentalist lobby is massive and well funded by people with their own agendas and financial interests. With that proposal they kill two birds with one stone. They eliminate a greenhouse gas and drive the cost up for red meat make it less of staple food source. Hold onto your seat for the next few years as proposals like will most likely be the norm.

I wonder how many countries that jumped on the Kyoto bandwagon have lived up to their obligations?

Actually, it would be more accurate to say that when it's done in the name of the religion of Global Warming, everything is justified.
