... that the Global Climate Coalition, an international business lobbyist group active from 1989 through 2001, played a role in blocking ratification of the Kyoto Protocol by the United States?

Comment: fewer than 5 DYK credits, thank you

Improved to Good Article status by HughD (talk). Self-nominated at 22:03, 27 June 2016 (UTC).

Confirm HughD has only previous DYK credit according to QPQ check, so no QPQ is required... which is good because HughD has just been blocked for 6 months at AE and so will be unable to work to support this nomination. EdChem (talk) 05:58, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

We will not allow banned editors to be rewarded for violating their ban. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 09:18, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
