This 1997 protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, aimed at reducing global emissions of greenhouse gases, is being hotly debated by supporters and opponents, says biology graduate student Eric Levy. "Some see Kyoto as a critical international treaty that addresses pressing global environmental problems; others predict that implementation of Kyoto will cause irreparable harm to the U.S. economy," he writes. Professor Eban Goodstein, from the Economics and Environmental Studies departments at Lewis and Clark College, will make the case for Senate ratification of the treaty. Thomas Gale Moore, a Hoover Institution senior fellow, will argue that ratification of the Kyoto treaty could cause global economic damage.
