All these other countries have signed the Kyoto agreement, while they bash the United States for not eagerly signing on.
Quote: from my linked PBS News article: So far, 153 countries have ratified the treaty, constituting more than 61 percent of global emissions.
The treaty was negotiated in Kyoto, Japan in 1997, but did not go into effect until February 2005.
Member nations must reduce their collective emissions of greenhouse gases by 5.2 percent compared to the year 1990.
I'm just curious: What, if anything, have other countries done or sacrificed to comply with pollution control mandated in the Kyoto agreement?
Or do they all just agree that the United States should comply?
Or maybe these nations have agreed to comply, but implementation of the agreement is still years away.
