Reuters Lies About Bush and Kyoto

From a story today on Yahoo News:

President George W. Bush pulled the United States out of Kyoto in 2001, arguing it would cost U.S. jobs and that it wrongly excluded 2012 goals for poorer nations such as China.

Uh. Reuters, please do some fact checking. Bush did not pull the US out of Kyoto. Even Wikipedia gets this one right. This is really basic fact checking. How can we take you seriously as a "news" company if you can't get recent history correct?

Without further adieu, here is the Wikipedia article; that is mostly correct:

On July 25, 1997, before the Kyoto Protocol was finalized (although it had been fully negotiated, and a penultimate draft was finished), the U.S. Senate unanimously passed by a 95–0 vote the Byrd-Hagel Resolution (S. Res. 98),^[40][41] which stated the sense of the Senate was that the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol that did not include binding targets and timetables for developing as well as industrialized nations or "would result in serious harm to the economy of the United States". On November 12, 1998, Vice President Al Gore symbolically signed the protocol. Both Gore and Senator Joseph Lieberman indicated that the protocol would not be acted upon in the Senate until there was participation by the developing nations.^[42] The Clinton Administration never submitted the protocol to the Senate for ratification.

So Bush couldn't have possibly pulled the US from Kyoto; since Clinton never submitted the protocol to the Senate.

Reuters, give truthful reporting a chance, will ya?
