From the site:

While the Kyoto Protocol has been an important first step in global diplomacy, with members reporting significant reductions in CO2 emissions, it has failed to slow pollution on a global scale…

We need to do more, we need global cooperation on a meaningful scale, we need further investment in renewable energy, and we need a commitment from the US to lower carbon emissions per capita.

"To put that into some perspective, when Bill Clinton and Al Gore had first taken the idea of the Kyoto Protocol up to the Congress, the United States Senate voted it down 95 to nothing." - Christie Todd Whitman, former Governor (R) of New Jersey (1994-2001) and EPA Administrator (2001-2003)

If we humans can not fight the energy crisis properly, I would not surprise if the third world exists within next 20 years.
