Beyond Kyoto II: Complementary

The US insists that their secret, alternative plan that sidesteps Kyoto principles and guidelines of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in developed countries onto the laps of developing countries, really, goes hand in hand with the Kyoto treaties. That it complements Kyoto.

Anybody else fail to see how The Administration can at the same time completley discount the Kyoto treaties, then undermine them with an alternative, self-interested secret version, then claim that it's complementary?

Complementary would be if The Administration decided to propose a set of amendments to the Kyoto treaty which would raise responsibilities of developing nations to keep their emissions to a minimum; but then The Administration would have to adopt the treaty. That's a complement.

This is an undermine.
