		<description>The Kyoto Protocol Fixation Syndrome (KPFS)

&quot;All you have to do is put a few micrograms of ink on a certain piece of paper, and millions of tons of carbon dioxide will miraculously disappear from the atmosphere.&quot;
-an anonymous patient

Many people are fixated on the Kyoto Protocol.

(The Kyoto Protocol is a supplement to the UNFCC. 
It is a voluntary agreement that set  short term intermediate goals for some countries. 
Its basis, the actual main international climate change agreement, is the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The United Stated signed the UNFCCC in 1992, thereby officially committing itself to limiting greenhouse gasses to a safe level.

Some symptoms of the Kyoto Protocol Fixation Syndrome:
Denial that the United States can do anything about climate change without signing the Kyoto Protocol.
Denial that the United States is doing anything about climate change without signing the Kyoto Protocol.
Denial that the United States has done anything about climate change without signing the Kyoto Protocol.
Denial that the United States can set goals for the reduction of greenhouse gasses without signing the Kyoto Protocol.
Denial of the existence of the Climate Change Science Program (CCSP), or its content, and/or its effectiveness.
Denial of the existence of the Climate Change Technology Program (CCTP), or its content, and/or its effectiveness.
The delusion that the signing of the Kyoto Protocol would solve the climate change problem.

Closer examination usually also reveals these accompanying conditions:
Ignorance of the fact that the United States can do something about climate change without signing the Kyoto Protocol.
Ignorance of the fact that the United States is doing something about climate change without signing the Kyoto Protocol.
Ignorance of the fact that the United States has done something about climate change without signing the Kyoto Protocol.
Ignorance of the fact that the United States has set goals for the reduction of greenhouse gasses without signing the Kyoto Protocol.
Ignorance of the existence of the Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) or its content, and/or its effectiveness.
Ignorance of the existence of the Climate Change Technology Program (CCTP) or its content, and/or its effectiveness.
Ignorance of the role of the Kyoto Protocol in solving the climate change problem.

Apparently, the cause of this disorder seems to be that the affected persons are suffering from a sort of vitamin deficiency; namely insufficient Vitamin I (Infomatin). A preliminary Google survey of sources of Infomatin has revealed that the concentration of a particular variation of Vitamin I, Infomatin-clima-delta-policine (Icdp) is present only in extremely small quantities, on the order of only a few per million. 

But a deficiency of Vitamin Icdp alone does not necessarily lead to KPFS. Many people who have almost undetectable levels of Icdp do not develop KPFS. It would seem that there must be another factor involved. And indeed, researchers David and Ray of the DMKO institution have documented critically high levels of factor H (Hatin), specifically the variation Hatin-Amercin (Ha), in many common sources of vitamin I.

One obvious possible form of treatment would be to give the patient supplemental doses of Icdp, but past experience has shown that high levels of factor H tend to block the intake of Vitamin I. And giving very large doses runs the risk of loosing the patient.</description>
