Doing nothing is just a little bit ineffective wouldnt you say?
removing CO2 is all well and good, but ultimately pointless if you are still pumping out more then you take out again.
Removing it in combination with cutting the amount spewed into the atmosphere is a better plan.
things like kyoto alone wont fix things, but they do form a base upon which to build future plans and treaties to go even further
Global climate engineering is a dangerous plan since not enough is known about how the system works and how it would react to things like blocking some of the sunlight. If we had a perfect understanding of it, we would have hyper-accurate weather forecasts capable of telling you to the second when it will start raining where you are for instance.
fact is, we dont.

I havent seen anything that would indicate that, infact logic would suggest that europeans would be HAPPY that the states is falling behind since they get more time to work things out, gain prestige / patents / money for coming up with the breakthroughs before anyone in the US.
Bush forcing his religious morals onto areas of scientific research in the states that he doesnt like is a good thing for the rest of the world, Its a bad thing for the US alone
