Since the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, diplomats have been negotiating a treaty to limit carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. I'm proud to say that those long, tedious negotiations were led by the United States, which produced a treaty acceptable to 195 nations. Yesterday, we abdicated that leadership role, in favor of China and Russia.
Ronald Reagan called on us to be "the shinning city on the hill" . . . and we were!
I am sad . . . too sad to write.
