| Jessman said: Australia just signed the Kyoto protical, and i think the US did too, that plans to cut greenhouse gas emmisions by 20 - 30% in the next few years, its gonna be a tad hard to do, but im sure we will find a way. |
The US have signed it. But not ratfied. So basically it's non-binding. So the US pretty much said "We'll keep it in mind."
The Senate was 95-0 against it. Basically because there are no timetables or checks on undeveloped nations so developed nations would be handicapped vs later developed nations, and because there is fear it would hurt our economy and cost the US way too much money. (We already deficit spend like a teenager who just got his first credit card.)
