  • Canada to Withdraw from Kyoto Protocol

    "Kyoto is not the path forward for a global solution for climate change" and the country would face crippling fines for failing to meet it targets." -- Environmental Minister Peter Kent
    Canada will formally withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, the first nation to pull out of the treaty, the environment minister has said.

    Note that, "the US and China - were not covered by the Kyoto agreement," and therefore do not have to abide by any so decisions.

    Then note that, "Beijing criticised Canada's decision. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said it went "against the efforts of the international community and is regrettable".

    Appears to me China is talking out of both ends of its AH.
