The U.S. withdraws from the Kyoto

2001 – The U.S. withdraws from the Kyoto Protocol citing economic reasons

A decade of computer modeled research suggests a likelihood of climate changes
Scientific observations taken over the previous 10 years of global warming, as observed in ocean basins coincide and match with computer models which had predicted such effect on the oceans. Release of this information results in a general scientific shift whereby almost all international scientific bodies agree that an abrupt climate change is currently taking place.
President Bush removes the U.S. from involvement in the Kyoto Protocol
The United States is widely recognized as the single largest greenhouse gas creator worldwide. Under action from then President George W. Bush, the United States abandons the Kyoto Protocol for environmental practices. President Bush determines that scientific opinion on global warming is mixed and undefined. He also states that the Kyoto treaty is too expensive for the United States economy and places far too much of the fiscal burden for environmental control on the U.S. All of the major Kyoto signers with the exception of the notably absent United States agree on the treaty’s rules, laying the groundwork for the Kyoto Protocol’s ratification and implementation.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded and released as a statement that human AKA induction activity is the likely cause of global warming. The IPCC goes further to state that evidence of climate change by a man-made global warming is incontrovertible. They do note however that effects of global warming on climate are probably impossible to define when weighed against hundred year cycles of temperature adjustment.
New Zealand reaches out to smaller island nations
In 2001 the country of New Zealand established an immigration and residency policy for the Pacific Island nations of Tuvalu, Tonga, Samoa and Kiribati. Rising sea levels have reached a point where these nations are at risk of simple nonexistence. Neighboring New Zealand is essentially prepared to “take in” the peoples from these countries as a humanitarian solution to possibility of their nations being made extinct as direct result of rising seas attributed to Global Warming.
