Kyoto Back in the Limelight

I have been wondering about the Kyoto treaty. This is the treaty, some 30 days into Bush's administration back in 2001, Bush pulled out of after promising to possibly participate in it. Well, it seems it is finally getting its due respect. HRC has nominated  Todd Stern as climate czar.

His history is with the clinton administration as the chief negotiator of the Kyoto treaty back when Bill was president. I feel good about this already. His background. 

"Stern was staff secretary, a sensitive job that makes him the gatekeeper to every piece of paper the President sees and signs. Also for Clinton, he was senior White House negotiator at the Kyoto and Buenos Aires climate negotiations. 

So Stern is an authority on the issue, knows the inner workings of the White House and has a close relationship with the secretary of State. "

I wonder how long it will be before we formally sign the Kyoto Treaty. Link
