Canada Prepares to Abandon Kyoto Protocols
Our Senators never got close to ratifying the Kyoto Protocols regarding CO2 emissions which the White House signed about 9 years ago. Indeed, during negotiations, the Senate signaled that no one would vote for the treaty. Our responsible and polite neighbor to the North, however, did sign and ratify the treaty and its citizens and government were big time supporters. Until recently.
Hardly any of the signatory nations were actually living up to the promised reduction of CO2 and other gas emissions, but it's surprising that the Canadian government is giving up the fig leaf of being one and is all but abandoning the treaty. Not a good day in the placid Warmie self delusion world.
But you have to admire a government that is willing to quit a failing program. Ours rarely does.
