Abstract
The Kyoto Protocol will have little effect upon atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. Even so, Kyoto and the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change could have established a path to solving the climate change problem. Unfortunately, they do not. Instead, they contain features that, if applied to future international environmental agreements, will make resolution of global environmental problems more difficult: Emission targets are expressed in terms of reductions, not limits; each party has a different target, in accordance with its differentiated responsibilities; the more pollution a country has produced in the past, the more lenient are its obligations; economic development is encouraged to the detriment of the global atmosphere; the objective is not the prevention of climate change, but its management; progress on climate change is proclaimed but not achieved. Kyoto is the latest in a series of international environmental first steps that are politically appealing but inadequate in form as well as substance.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
