mixi wrote:The Kyoto Protocol is a solution what we need and what we have been searching for to stop the pollution. But what did it happen after it was announced? More than 180 countries signed it. But what is more interesting and sad in the same time, is that USA only signed the Protocol with no further actions. As long as it does not ratify, their signature is pure symbolic. This is a totally unfair position comparable to smaller countries and weaker economies. USA is in fact one of the leading countries to pollute the atmosphere and it is crucial for big countries to ratify it, as otherwise such Protocols have no value, if the entities that are guilty the most aren’t acting seriously.
