Vena, your totally right about Kyoto in fact Ireland has overshot its Kyoto obligations by something like 24% even though it was one of the few countries allowed produce a surplus CO2 quota. I asked about the US because i presumed you were American and I wanted to guage your thoughts on it.
Although now that we are signed up it has become a political and economic imperative to reduce greenhouse emissions which is a good platform to start from. Basically signing up is better than not because at least you begin to set targets and engage industry etc.
again Russia and the US wouldnt sign up over short term economic reasons not realising that in the long run those countries that abopt sustainability will benfit in the long run. One reason will be, in basic terms, a less dependancy on finite resources such as oil.
