"There has to be something wrong here, China and India are exempt from Kyoto. This clearly means that these countries do not pollute."

- Sorry, that's not the way Kyoto works. For example, the UK predicted that it would not be able to meet it's Kyoto pollution targets by 2010. Therefore, they will have to pay billions to China and India in penalties based on a very complicated formula, so that China and India can take the cash and spend it to reduce their pollution. Is anyone naive enough to believe that this is where the money will really end up?
It's basically a subsidy from industrialized countries to third world countries that will kill jobs in industrialized countries so that the monies transferred can be used to unfairly compete with and ultimately destroy western economies.

Agreed, you must have missed my "(/sarcasm off)" flag.
