Default Russia ratifies Kyoto
I mentioned a few months ago that they were going to. Well, now they have.

So now it's in force. Seems that Tigger isn't the only one who never thought it would happen. The Canadian government was living in denial too and forgot to get ready. Story

It won't take too long to turn it around though once folks realize how much money there is to be made.

Every government loves to get more taxes!

Before anyone gets too excited, Russia don't believe in global warming by CO2 emissions either. They're probably doing it for better trade relations to the EU.

@Red I know what you mean, ol putin is definately putting the kabosh on the young free press in that country. Any buisness that tries to get involved in politics gets stomped on etc etc..

Not good.

So we have the EU who have increased there CO2 output the last two (or is it 3 now) years, Canada also not making there quota (and increasing there CO2 output levels) as signers of the plan also China who are #2 in CO2 output and dont have to cut back at all (and arent cutting back at all) and then we have the US who has cut CO2 production the last 2 years. So who is really doing somethig to cut CO2 production, those who are cutting there CO2 output and not signing Kyoto, or those who are not cutting there CO2 production but are signing Kyoto??

True words. It is a shame that they don't live up to their own standards...
