Paper Summary:
In 2001 the newly elected Bush administration shocked the globe first by stating that it would not demand that its national industry be required to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, or greenhouse gases, and then in its harsh rejection of the Kyoto Protocol that had been ten years in the making. The Kyoto Protocol is intended to reduce greenhouse gases by as much as 5.2 percent below the 1990 levels but the Bush administration felt that ratification of the Kyoto Protocol would cost the Nation millions of jobs and billions of dollars in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This paper discusses the context within which the Kyoto Protocol was designed to fit within the broader framework of sustainable development economic policies that would ensure continued economic expansion but would also ensure sound environmental policies.Chosen as a "Paper of the Week":
February 16, 2005 marks a very important date in recent history, as it is the date that the Kyoto Protocol went into effect. Whether you agree or disagree with the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol, there is no denying its global economic and environmental impact. Paper #90742, "President Bush and the Kyoto Protocol", therefore is a perfect choice for this week's paper of the week. This thoroughly-documented, informative, and enlightening research paper presents an excellent accounting of the origins of the Kyoto Protocol, its objective and effects, the context within which it was designed, and alternatives put forth to the Kyoto Protocol. After a thorough investigation and analysis of the facts and history of the Kyoto Protocol, the paper arrives at the conclusion that the financial hardships imposed by the Kyoto Protocol are far outweighed by the economic and environmental benefits it brings.
