Article 3, paragraph 9, of the Kyoto Protocol: consideration of commitments for subsequent periods for Parties included in Annex I to the Convention
We are one country among a globe of 196 countries. We have allies we have to answer to as well as partners in other United Nations Conventions.
The USA has failed to honor the commitment to the countries that are allies and partners. THE USA HAS FAILED it's allies and partners. Additionally, it has not only failed to honor the ESTABLISHED brevity of climate change of it's own scientists, it has turned to values of war and profit completely absent of concern to environmental dangers.
The policies of the USA are important policies. They often have impact on global conditions and outcomes. The policy of the USA regarding global climate change caused by greenhouse gases has been absent in a sea of countries doing their level best to stem the danger.
It is unconscionable the USA isn't a leader at a time and in a method the entire community of nations needs it's leadership. The global community is experiencing drastic changes in climate and their citizens sometimes die of the effects.

The intense heat wave (click here) that centered on western Russia last summer was truly a record breaker. It surpassed even 2003's scorcher in western and central Europe — which has been blamed for 70,000 deaths. And together, both of these mega heat waves have secured a place in the 500-year weather history of Europe, according to a new analysis.
The researchers also looked ahead, and found that a variety of different climate models predict an increase in mega heat waves similar to these in the 21st century for two regions within Europe.
From late July until the second week in August 2010, record heat settled across 772,204 square miles (2 million square kilometers) in Russia and Eastern Europe. In Moscow, the daytime temperatures reached 101 degrees Fahrenheit (38.2 degrees Celsius), in Kiev, nights reached 77 F (25 C), crops were destroyed, fires swept across western Russia, and preliminary estimates now put the Russian death toll at 55,000.
70,000 dead in France and Europe in 2003.
55,000 dead in Eastern Europe and Russia in 2010.
Wildfires that griped Australia hopeless to end the flames.
The USA didn't even blink. Those deaths were never acknowledged by the USA. It was passed off as unfortunate. These were allies. Russia is a valuable partner to many initiatives in the global community.
The USA has expressed itself as a country without a conscience.
