The Kyoto Protocol fails to meet those requirements. To be effective, any public policy must have the support of the people who will be affected by it. Therefore, the FCCC COP should strive to open the process widely to any and all participants who care to spend their time and resources to observe, participate, and report to their various constituencies. It may well be inconvenient to have NGO representatives clamoring for documents and competing for space to present their point of view. Policies adopted by non-elected officials, without regard for the wishes of those who are affected by them, can only be implemented by force and coercion.
Individual freedom is the cost of such policies.
When such policies are the work of international bodies, the cost expands to include national sovereignty. China, and the G-77 countries apparently recognize that fact and have refused to make any commitment that infringes their national sovereignty. Those people whose national sovereignty is infringed will not likely stand idly by and let the rest of the world dictate policies that cost both individual freedom and national sovereignty. NASA reported that the explosions produced plasma temperatures in the range of 1 million to 1.5 million degrees. The highest global temperatures ever recorded by the satellites correlate directly to the solar flares observed by scientists around the world.
