Or so you've been told by those with a vested interest.
But those with a different view might regard it as an opportunity to be capitalised on.
Would that not indicate that they, too, have a vested interest in the issue? You seem to be implying that we shouldn't believe those who say it would be economically bad...why then should we regard the other side's arguments?
And exactly which opportunity are you expecting them to capitalize on? The only one I can see in the Kyoto treaty and its like is the 'chance to expand power' opportunity.

The Greens like Al Gore have just as much invested interest in signing somthing like kyoto as those who do not want to sign kyoto. Gore has invested in numerous carbon trading companies etc. All of the really big spokemen for Global warming have something to gain from it. Then you have the Greens who simply believe anything that they are told about the enviroment come in and start regurgatating this false information.
In one form or another humans have been emitting carbon into the atmosphere for millenia and yet all of a sudden it has started to have an effect on the climate. Given we have been emitting alot more CO2 in the last century due to a large expanding population all requiring power but thats also about as far back as we have solid temperature recording.

DOS is still there, somewhere hidden in Windows. You just have to look for it.
There are lots of men who wish their wife would leave them for an alien!
