I agree that Kyoto did not adequately address China and India. I'd point out, though, that China and (particularly) India are likely to be severely affected under most models of global warming. Doing nothing will not be an option for those countries either.
Doing nothing hurts the poor the most, btw, since they can not pay to get out of harms way or the likely extra cost of food and water.
The real key here in the US, though, is to build a response nationally that can be extended internationally, or joined to other national responses. And that response has to include economic rewards for conservation.
