Bingo
Did the Aussies sign this S#!T?
Idiots.
Not that it means much, since it is a worthless, unenforceable and soon to expire document anyway. In Canada, Steven Harper UN-signed it. Even though he's the best prime minister Canada has had in decades, the UN mobilized all their minions in protest, media is attacking him.
But, he'll win the next election. There are a lot of happy Canadians glad he turfed Kyoto
Kyoto is so - 90's? Even the newly elected socialist caved...

Kevin Rudd recoils from climate change pledge

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd last night did an about-face on deep cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, days after Australia's delegation backed the plan at the climate talks in Bali.

It would be economic suicide for India to sign the Kyoto treaty which wants to equate the emissions of a country the size of India, with another state the size of Singapore. You can’t expect India to have the same CO2 emissions as Singapore. India is ready for a per-capita cap. In other words, screw Global Warming. If the coasts swell, let’s move inland.
When it’s a per-capita emission limit based treaty, there will be some movement on this. Otherwise it should be a definite and clear ‘no’ from India.
I meant all the other turd world dictators- from N/S Africa, Islamic crap holes, and poorer EU countries who all hope to beefit.
Nope. The Aussies walked away from this S#!T!
What a complete and abysmal waste of time the UN is, and particularly on this faux man-made global warming, or climate change, or “coldest winter in 20 years,” or hotter magma, or whatever the heck they’re calling it today.
It won’t “involve all nations” any more than Kyoto does. The Chinese and Indians couldn’t adhere to this thing if they wanted to. And the U.S. Senate doesn't have to either.
IT is a shakedown. I heard that a international green program that pays for the destruction of “bad carbon” and other toxic chemicals exists and that countries like china and India who can make billions form not doing a dang thing to stop making the toxins so they can continue to destroy these wastes for the money. its a international scam at its finest.
The global warming hysteria is about more than money. It is a perfect storm of religious environmentalism, opportunists seeking to profit, US hatred, and Marxist opportunists seeking power unlimited power. Global warming hysteria is a powerful combination that will be difficult to stop. Bush’s compromise will just provide more encouragement to this madness.
Total U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 7,075.6 million metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent (MMTCO2e) in 2006, a decrease of 1.5 percent from the 2005 level according to Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the United States 2006, a report released today by the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Since 1990, U.S. GHG emissions have grown at an average annual rate of 0.9 percent. The 2006 emissions decrease is only the third decline in annual emissions since 1990.

Yes when the Howard government was removed in the last election they signed kyoto:

It is interesting that PM Rudd backed out Bali after signing Kyoto. He had to insure his campaign promise was kept to the green hordes in the country by signing the Kyoto treaty. Seems he realizes the politics of the situation but he does not really want to destroy the economic boom that Australia has been enjoying. Kyoto is pretty much a paper tiger as a treaty and will not effect national growth since few countries that have signed Kyoto have lived up to the treaty. Only the poor countries have and mostly in Africa.
Kyoto expires soon. No big deal. The Australians are wise to the Bali hoax (after getting their minds right by the public and electric companies) and have backed out. Good for them.
The West is gonna pay it all if this thing ever does fly.
They were in charge of that 100% corrupt oil-for-food program - no?
If we're in the middle of a cooling period, who would we rely on for that information? Algore? No thanks...
