"American Climate Criminals in Town" was the message on the Greenpeace banner hung at the hotel housing the U.S. delegation. If the U.S. will not ratify the Kyoto Protocol, it is outrageous for them to send a team to influence the talks at COP8 (the 8th Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change).
