Kyoto, the highly debated international treaty that looks to combat global warming went into effect yesterday. We’ll look back at what the Kyoto protocol is about and how it is playing out politically, both in the U.S. and in the rest of the world. Laura will be joined by Stacy VanDeveer, professor of political science at the University of New Hampshire and Tseming Yang, professor at the Vermont Law School. We will also hear from James Glassman, resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
