Answer to Question 1

The United States signed but did not ratify the Kyoto Protocol during the Clinton Administration. Even then, partly because of the strength of the fossil fuel industry lobbies, the political will for ratification did not exist.
When President George W. Bush assumed office in 2001, he rejected the Kyoto Protocol outright. The Bush administration had two objections: the potentially high economic cost of implementing the treaty and the fact that China, along with all the world's less developed countries, was not required by the Kyoto Protocol to take any steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Answer to Question 2

A
