Kyoto Proto, So What

(The Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty signed in December 1997, commits member states to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. The United States is the only First World nation not to ratify the treaty.) Spend it, squander, swill down, swallow, waste it, wassail, welter, wallow. There's no "I" in America. (Well, maybe one.) Billow, burn up, bloat and burgeon, Don't stint (see stomach-stapling surgeon). There's no "me" in America. (Well, maybe one.) Blow up. Bulge. Indulge your senses. Guzzle, grab, gorge - don't heed no fences. There's no "crime" in America, no restraints, no consequences. (Well, maybe one.)
