For [Stephen] Harper, a national daycare plan bordered on being a socialist scheme, a phrase he had once used to describe the Kyoto Protocol on climate change. For [Paul] Martin, whose plan would have transferred to the provinces $5 billion over five years, the national program was what Canadianism was all about. "Think about it this way," [Martin] said. "What if, decades ago, Tommy Douglas and my father and Lester Pearson had considered the idea of medicare and then said, 'Forget it! Let's just give people twenty-five dollars a week.' You want a fundamental difference between Mr. Harper and myself? Well, this is it. ~ Lawrence Martin
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Lawrence Martin
I was at the table with three Europeans, and we were having lunch. And they were talking about their role as lead authors. And they were talking about how they were trying to make the report so dramatic that the United States would just have to sign that Kyoto Protocol. ~ John Christy
Kyoto Protocol quotes by John Christy
We think that the Kyoto protocol is a necessary document, necessary process. I am convinced that we will agree to disagree about substance. ~ Goran Persson
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Goran Persson
When the Kyoto Protocol enters into the force tomorrow, the world will take a significant and long-awaited first step towards stemming global warming. Instead of stepping forward as the world leader on climate change, however, the Bush Administration is clinging to the role of world obstructionist. ~ Nancy Pelosi
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Nancy Pelosi
It is becoming increasingly clear that the targets in the Kyoto Protocol cannot and will not be met on the established timetable in the United States and elsewhere. ~ Eileen Claussen
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Eileen Claussen
The Kyoto Protocol ... the first component of an authentic global governance ... ~ Jacques Chirac
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Jacques Chirac
The climatically inefficient and economically disastrous Kyoto Protocol, based on IPCC projections, was correctly defined by President George W. Bush as "fatally flawed". This criticism was recently followed by the President of Russia Vladimir V. Putin. I hope that their rational views might save the world from enormous damage that could be induced by implementing recommendations based on distorted science. ~ Zbigniew Jaworowski
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Zbigniew Jaworowski
We've got to ride the global-warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental policy. ~ Tim Wirth
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Tim Wirth
We are close to a consensus that the Kyoto Protocol does huge economic, political, social and ecological damage to the Russian Federation. In addition, it certainly violates the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens, and well as the rights and freedoms of citizens in those countries which signed and ratified it. ~ Andrey Illarionov
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Andrey Illarionov
The Bush Administration believes the Kyoto protocol could damage our collective prosperity, and in so doing, actually put our long-term environmental health at risk. Fundamentally, we believe that the protocol both will fail to significantly reduce the long-term risks posed by climate change and, in the short run, will seriously impede our ability to meet our energy needs and economic growth. ~ Lawrence B. Lindsey
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Lawrence B. Lindsey
Sensible policies on global warming should weight the costs of slowing climate change against the benefits of slower climate change. Ironically, recent policy initiatives, such as the Kyoto Protocol of 1997, have been introduced without any attempt to link the emissions controls with the benefits of the lower emissions. ~ William Nordhaus
Kyoto Protocol quotes by William Nordhaus
Redirect federal spending aimed at fulfilling the terms of the increasingly irrelevant Kyoto Protocol. ~ Stephen Harper
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Stephen Harper
The U.S. withdrawal from the Kyoto protocol endangers the entire process. ~ Laurent Fabius
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Laurent Fabius
Globally, emissions may have to be reduced, the scientists are telling us, by as much as 60% or 70%, with developed countries likely to have to make even bigger cuts if we're going to allow the developing world to have their share of growing industrial prosperity ... The Kyoto Protocol is only the first rather modest step. Much, much deeper emission reductions will be needed in future. The political implications are mind-blowing. ~ Michael Meacher
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Michael Meacher
In reality, Kyoto was a huge transfer of resources from the United States to the Third World, under the guise of environmental protection. ~ Charles Krauthammer
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Charles Krauthammer
Nobody is going to give away the farm in Kyoto. It is not anybody's to give away. And even if the United States Senate would actually ratify a bad treaty, anything called for under the treaty would require legislation passed through both houses. ~ Thomas Schelling
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Thomas Schelling
The UK is one of the only nations on earth that has actually met and even exceeded its goals under the Kyoto Protocol. ~ Al Gore
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Al Gore
Ideology on which the Kyoto Protocol is based, is a new form of totalitarian ideology, along with Marxism, Communism and socialism. ~ Andrey Illarionov
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Andrey Illarionov
The seas need their own Kyoto Protocol. ~ Enric Sala
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Enric Sala
The different policies reduce damages by only a modest amount. Indeed, one of the surprises is how little the policies affect the damages from global warming. The reasons are that, because there is so much inertia in the climate system and because the Protocol reduced the global temperature increase by only a fraction of a degree over the next century. ~ Henry Sylvester Jacoby
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Henry Sylvester Jacoby
The laws of physics are not about to change. Set your agenda by what's happening in the atmosphere, not by what is happening in the artificial world of Kyoto. ~ Ross McKitrick
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Ross McKitrick
Attempts to estimate the impacts of climate change continue to be highly speculative. ~ William Nordhaus
Kyoto Protocol quotes by William Nordhaus
For the first time, humanity is instituting a genuine instrument Kyoto Protocol of global governance," ... "By acting together, by building this unprecedented instrument, the first component of an authentic global governance, we are working for dialogue and peace. ~ Jacques Chirac
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Jacques Chirac
In developing countries the situation could be even worse because developing countries do not have to count their emissions under the Kyoto Protocol. Private companies from industrialized nations will seek cheap carbon credits for their country in the developing world. ~ Jennifer Morgan
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Jennifer Morgan
The strategy behind the Kyoto Protocol has no grounding in economics or environmental policy. ~ William Nordhaus
Kyoto Protocol quotes by William Nordhaus
There is no doubt that the United States has much to atone for, both domestically and abroad ... To produce this horrible confection at home, start with our genocidal treatment of the Native Americans, add a couple hundred years of slavery, along with our denial of entry to Jewish refugees fleeing the death camps of the Third Reich, stir in our collusion with a long list of modern despots and our subsequent disregard for their appalling human rights records, add our bombing of Cambodia and the Pentagon Papers to taste, and then top with our recent refusals to sign the Kyoto protocol for greenhouse emissions, to support any ban on land mines, and to submit ourselves to the rulings of the International Criminal Court. The result should smell of death, hypocrisy, and fresh brimstone. ~ Sam Harris
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Sam Harris
Carbon dioxide does not cause or contribute to smog, and the Kyoto treaty would do nothing to reduce or prevent smog. ~ Stephen Harper
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Stephen Harper
Kyoto protocol is not a simple environmental issue, where you can say scientists are not unanimous. This is about international relations, this is about the economy, about trying to create a level playing field for big businesses throughout the world. You have to understand what is at stake, and that is why it is serious, ... ~ Margot Wallstrom
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Margot Wallstrom
Kyoto costs a lot, does nothing to prevent calamity, and pays no compensation in the event of loss. If my insurance broker offered that sort of policy, I would not carry insurance. Instead what my broker offers is a policy that costs a little and pays full compensation in the event of loss. If someone wants to propose that as a policy on global warming, I'm all in favour. ~ Ross McKitrick
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Ross McKitrick
The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill ... The real enemy then is humanity itself. ~ Aurelio Peccei
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Aurelio Peccei
I've been a supporter of green initiatives for years. I've been paying more and more attention to it, you know, with three kids. I thought it was tragic when the Kyoto Protocol was killed by the U.S. It was sort of a call to action. ~ Barry Sternlicht
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Barry Sternlicht
We have received no single argument in favour of this document except political pressure. No link has been established between carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. No other objective facts have been presented in recent time. The IPCC's reports in 1990 and 1995 show it clearly. ~ Andrey Illarionov
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Andrey Illarionov
The total efforts of the last 20 years of climate policy has likely reduced global emissions by less than 1 percent, or about 250 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. ~ Bjorn Lomborg
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Bjorn Lomborg
Mind if I ask you another question?" I said.
"Go ahead," he replied.
I cleared my throat and sat up straight in my seat. "How come…how come it took you so long to call me?" I couldn't help but grin. It was one of the most direct questions I'd ever asked him.
He looked in my direction, then back toward the road.
"You don't have to tell me," I said. And he didn't. But I'd wondered more than a handful of times, and as long as he was coming clean about bucket seats and other important matters, I thought it would be a good time to ask him why four months had passed between the first night we'd met in the smoky bar and the night he'd finally called to invite me to dinner. I remembered being knocked over by his magnetism that night during Christmas vacation. What had he thought of me? Had he forgotten me instantly, then remembered me in a flash that April night after my brother's wedding? Or had he intentionally waited four months to call? Was it some kind of country boy protocol I didn't know about?
I was a girl. I simply had to know. ~ Ree Drummond
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Ree Drummond
Listen buddy, I'm not saying we have to ask permission, but we will be dealing with my kind now and my pack and it is proper protocol to let them know we are coming. ~ Bryce Evans
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Bryce Evans
The camellia against the moss of the temple, the violet hues of the Kyoto mountains, a blue porcelain cup
this sudden flowering of pure beauty at the heart of ephemeral passion: is this not something we all aspire to? And something that, in our western civilization, we do not know how to attain?
The contemplation of eternity within the very movement of life. ~ Muriel Barbery
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Muriel Barbery
I sipped the coffee and lit a cigarette. I can't say that I enjoyed the taste of coffee or the feeling of smoke descending into my lungs, I could barely distinguish the two, the point was to do it, it was a routine, and as with all routines, protocol was everything. ~ Karl Ove Knausgaard
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Karl Ove Knausgaard
Our muddy machine gun pits were transformed into Courage Clubs when bombs fell or Japanese warships pounded us from the sea. There was protocol to be observed, too, and it was natural that the poor fellow who might break into momentary terror should cause pained silence and embarrassed coughs. Everyone looked the other way, like millionaires confronted by the horrifying sight of a club member borrowing five dollars from the waiter. ~ Robert Leckie
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Robert Leckie
Radiation is relentless: my protocol is five days a week, 33 sessions altogether. ~ Christina Baker Kline
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Christina Baker Kline
Over the years of courtship and being together, we realized that there was no value left for anything. People just want to know what we're eating, which designer I'm wearing, who we've invited ... Saif and I decided that we wanted to keep the purest part of our relationship sacred. We followed protocol by going out on to the terrace and waving at the media after officially registering the marriage, but they didn't need to know more than that. ~ Kareena Kapoor
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Kareena Kapoor
Cade shifted against the sheets, trying to ease his painful erection. He was going against every protocol there was. Sleeping in the same bed as the woman in his protective custody? Genius plan. It would be one thing if he was simply trying to comfort her, to make her feel at ease. Yeah, it would still be breaking some rules, but he was intensely attracted to her. Had been from the moment they met all those years ago. ~ Katie Reus
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Katie Reus
People sometimes think of 'queen' as a title that's shrouded with protocol and formality, and for that reason sometimes people are not easily saying what they want to say. They're reluctant to express their opinions, and I kind of find that frustrating because I want to know what people really, really think. ~ Queen Rania Of Jordan
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Queen Rania Of Jordan
A true friend is someone with whom protocol is no longer necessary. ~ Simon Sinek
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Simon Sinek
Words have their own hierarchy, their own protocol, their own artistic titles, their own plebeian stigmas. ~ Jose Saramago
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Jose Saramago
Against the background of the Obama administration' s negotiating what can turn out to be the most catastrophic international agreement in the nation's history, to complain about protocol is to put questions of etiquette above questions of annihilation. ~ Thomas Sowell
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Thomas Sowell
I loved the quiet places in Kyoto, the places that held the world within a windless moment. Inside the temples, Nature held her breath. All longing was put to sleep in the stillness, and all was distilled into a clean simplicity.
The smell of woodsmoke, the drift of incense; a procession of monks in black-and-gold robes, one of them giggling in a voice yet unbroken; a touch of autumn in the air, a sense of gathering rain. ~ Pico Iyer
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Pico Iyer
Wyatt Christiansen is the client."
Iris tensed at his words. Hearing Wyatt's name from her boss completely threw her off balance. If Wyatt wanted to hire Red Stone that meant he needed extra security. She hated the thought of him in danger.
Without giving her a chance to respond, Harrison barreled on. "I don't like the idea of you guarding him, especially since I found out you two are fucking married. It goes against protocol, but...my father owes him a favor and he's apparently collecting. ~ Katie Reus
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Katie Reus
The culture's reverence for nature accentuates Kyoto's innate beauty. Designs on fabric, pottery, lacquer, and folding screens depict swirling water, budding branches, and birds in flight. Delicate woodcuts and scrolls celebrate the moonlight, rain, and snow. Elegant restaurant dishes arrive with edible garnishes of seasonal flora. ~ Victoria Abbott Riccardi
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Victoria Abbott Riccardi
Email has the virtue - sounds like a bad thing, but it's the virtue of being the lowest common denominator messaging protocol. Everyone can have it. It can cross organizational boundaries. No one owns it. It's not some particular company's platform. ~ Stewart Butterfield
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Stewart Butterfield
Finally I knelt on the bed and placed my hand on his back. I patted awkwardly, hoping that was protocol for when someone was sobbing their eyes out. "hey." pat, pat. "It's okay. We'll bust out of here before they tag us." pat, pat, pat. I felt lame ~ Elana Johnson
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Elana Johnson
On the protocol, I don't know what to do... ain't good with talking to new girls... I even don't have a girl friend and the most shitty thing I am little afraid of nothing getting too much into it... knowing somebody and he starting to ignore you... ~ Deyth Banger
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Deyth Banger
Language is not a protocol legislated by an authority but rather a wiki that pools the contributions of millions of writers and speakers, who ceaselessly bend the language to their needs and who inexorably age, die, and get replaced by their children, who adapt the language in their turn. ~ Steven Pinker
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Steven Pinker
Da5id Meier, supreme hacker overlord, founding father of the Metaverse protocol, creator and proprietor of the world-famous Black Sun, has just suffered a system crash. He's been thrown out of his own bar by his own daemons. ~ Neal Stephenson
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Neal Stephenson
The room's phone rang a few minutes later to tell us that a Town Car was waiting for us downstairs. We went down in the elevator together, and I went out front first to look around, which was standard bodyguard protocol. I left Jackie in the lobby with a doorman who was all too eager to watch her for as long as possible. I walked out and across the cobblestoned driveway, and looked into the Town Car; it was the same driver we'd had the night before, and he nodded at me. I nodded back and turned to look at the rest of the area around the entrance. ~ Jeff Lindsay
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Jeff Lindsay
Kyoto is dead and has been dead, but that doesn't mean that it hasn't done some real damage and won't continue to do some real damage," "If global warming turns out to be a problem, which I doubt, it won't be solved by making ourselves poorer through energy rationing." "It will be solved through building resiliency and capability into society and through long-term technological innovation and transformation. ~ Myron Ebell
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Myron Ebell
Every time I am shown to an old, dimly lit, and, I would add, impeccably clean toilet in a Nara or Kyoto temple, I am impressed with the singular virtues of Japanese architecture. The parlor may have its charms, but the Japanese toilet truly is a place of spiritual repose. It always stands apart from the main building, at the end of a corridor, in a grove fragrant with leaves and moss. No words can describe that sensation as one sits in the dim light, basking in the faint glow reflected from the shoji, lost in meditation or gazing out at the garden. The novelist Natsume Soseki counted his morning trips to the toilet a great pleasure, 'a physiological delight' he called it. And surely there could be no better place to savor this pleasure than a Japanese toilet where, surrounded by tranquil walls and finely grained wood, one looks out upon blue skies and green leaves. ~ Junichiro Tanizaki
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Junichiro Tanizaki
I told him there was one city that they must not bomb without my permission and that was Kyoto. ~ Henry L. Stimson
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Henry L. Stimson
There was no need to inform us of the protocol involved. We were from Chicago and knew all about cement. ~ Groucho Marx
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Groucho Marx
We can't tell China what to do if we don't do it ourselves. You don't inspire someone to take an action by refusing to take it yourself. We are in a race to be the dominant clean-energy provider to the world. Maybe this goes without saying: We've got to get China into an international protocol and the magic words are "common responsibility with differentiated action." ~ Jay Inslee
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Jay Inslee
Defriending in't just unrecognized by some social oversight, it's protected by its own protocol, a code of silence. Demanding an explanation wouldn't just be undignified; it would violate the whole tacit contract on which friendship is founded. The same thing that makes friendship so valuable is what makes it so tenuous: it is purely voluntary. You enter into it freely, without the imperatives of biology or the agenda of desire. [...] Laura Kipnis's book Against Love: A Polemic includes a harrowing eight0page inventory of things people are not allowed to do because they're in romantic relationships, from going out without saying where you're going or when you'll be back to wearing that idiotic hat. But your best friend can move across the country without asking you. ~ Tim Kreider
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Tim Kreider
But if there was a protocol for how to say goodbye to your newly ex-boyfriend's brother, right after you kissed him and probably sent your ex into the arms of his willing ex-girlfriend, I didn't know what it was. ~ Rachel Vincent
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Rachel Vincent
Today we must all be aware that protocol takes precedence over procedure. ~ Irwin Corey
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Irwin Corey
You've been shot," she tells Rachel.
"You shot me, you crazy bit - "
"We don't have time for the ER protocol crap, Mom," I cut in. "She knows she's been shot. She's alert. Help. Her."
Mom nods. She looks at Rachel's clenched fist where it's balled against her lower stomach. "I'm sorry I shot you. I need to look at that. Please."
Rachel gives her The Stank Eye. Rachel is very good at The Stank Eye.
"I'm a nurse, remember?" Mom says, her voice dripping with impatience. "I can help you."
Rachel inhales and eases her hand away from her stomach, but I can't bring myself to look at it so I just watch Mom's face to maybe gauge how bad the wound is. I imagine dark blood and entrails and…
"What the…?" Mom gasps. As an ER nurse, Mom's seen a lot of things. But by her expression, she's never seen this. I'm thinking it must be way serious. Also, I'm thinking I might throw up.
Until Rachel slaps a handcuff around Mom's wrist. "I'm sorry, Nalia. I hope you understand." Then she clinks the other end of the cuff around her own wrist. I steal a glance at Rachel's very clean, very intact, very non-bloody-entrails T-shirt.
Rachel is a smart woman.
Mom lunges for her, hands aiming for her throat. Rachel pulls some karate-chop-move thing and slams Mom against the door behind her. "Knock it off, hon. I don't want to really hurt you."
"You…you told Galen you'd been shot," I stammer. "I heard you tell him that. Why would you lie to him?"
Ra ~ Anna Banks
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Anna Banks
According to Christ, the pathway to revelation, the heart of revival, and the fullness of the Kingdom of God is becoming child- like. Becoming dependent as children in our relationship with our heavenly Father forces us to lose our religious mindsets and protocol. Staying in a place of wonder and trust will keep us from becoming easily offended by the ways God chooses to manifest Himself in our lives. ~ Theresa Dedmon
Kyoto Protocol quotes by Theresa Dedmon
