	Kyoto Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is an amendment to the international treaty on climate change, assigning mandatory targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to signatory nations.
		The Kyoto Protocol was adopted at the third session of the Conference of Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC in 1997 in Kyoto, Japan.
		Kyoto enables a group of several Annex I countries to join together to create a so-called ‘bubble’, or a cluster of countries that is given an overall emissions cap and is treated as a single entity for compliance purposes.

	Kyoto History
		The Protocol states that in order to be "Kyoto compliant" an entity must lower their total emissions of greenhouse gasses to 7% less than what they were in 1990.
		The campus achieved compliance with the Kyoto Protocol by purchasing carbon dioxide offsets from The Climate Trust, a local organization that specializes in the sale of carbon offsets.
		Total green house gas emissions for the campus continued to be calculated for 2004, however the financial commitment to the purchase of offsets was not renewed.

	LiveScience.com - Global Warming Treaty Takes Effect Wednesday
		A broad scientific consensus attributes the rise largely to the accumulation of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and warns of climate disruptions later this century.
		The Kyoto Protocol, an adjunct to the 1992 U.N. treaty on climate change, has been ratified by 140 nations, but its binding restrictions apply to only 35 industrialized countries, committed to reducing or limiting output of six gases, chiefly carbon dioxide, a byproduct of burning coal and oil products.
		Kyoto will require governments to report regularly on compliance, and in some cases the prospects are dim.

		Without actions by the United States during the Kyoto Protocol’s first commitment period, the effect of the required emissions reductions is likely to be even smaller, but quantitative results strongly depend on assumptions about future emissions from developed and developing countries.
		Because the Kyoto Protocol does not require New Zealand to take any specific policy measures, there would not be any direct social and cultural effects as a result of the entry-into-force of the Protocol for New Zealand.
		However, there may be indirect social and cultural effects that result from the primary economic and environmental effects of the Kyoto Protocol, and policy measures introduced to meet the Protocol’s obligations, in both the short and long term.

		Staying out of the Kyoto Protocol which the US helped to negotiate is not going to help but only aggravate the problem at hand.
		The Convention states that developing countries are still allowed to emit in order to develop and that economic and social development and poverty eradication are the first and overriding priorities of developing countries.
		Threatening to walk out of the Kyoto Protocol under the pretext that it will hurt the U S economy therefore smacks of a superpower wanting to walk away from its leadership responsibilities and role model positions.

		The obligation of Kyoto Protocol is to reduce its emission by 7 percent between the years 2008 and 2012.
		Now if the Kyoto Protocol targets were to be stretched out over a longer period of time, with long term targets set that would make it a lot cheaper because of what I raised earlier about the turnover of the capital.
		The Kyoto agreement says if there is a compliance mechanism that has binding consequences-it is unclear what "binding consequences" means, but it's something like automatic and severe penalties-then the mechanism must be added to the Protocol in the form of a legal amendment.

		Clinton, a champion of the Kyoto Protocol, the existing emissions-controls agreement opposed by the Bush administration, spoke in the final hours of a two-week U.N. climate conference at which Washington has come under heavy criticism for its stand.
		The U.S. response to the Kyoto Accord is hardly new to the Bush Administration and the lukewarm response to this agreement actually started when the Kyoto Accord was still being drafted.
		It is certainly true the Kyoto Accord has the right intentions, but so too did the idea to plant more trees to decrease CO2.

		The Kyoto Protocol arose from the 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and was adopted in 1997.
		While the Kyoto Protocol contains no binding targets for developing countries, these countries must put in place policies and measures to reduce their emissions.

		We (globally) should be spending 100% of the money being used for Kyoto on such science and technology efforts, instead of dumping it into cleanup and prevention efforts (that have a very negligible immediate and/or long term impact on the environment), with a mere trickle of money into technology development as a side effect.
		many of the measures that kyoto lead to our doing are common sense energy saving systems that also halp save money as well.
		Though veiled in a sarcastic tone, the above post is precisely the kind of knee-jerk reaction to environmental issues that led to the Kyoto protocol being adopted by many countries.

		With the approval by the Russian Parliament finally of the Kyoto Protocal recently, it leaves only the United States the only major industrial nation to reject signing the agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
		I know that the Bush Administration would not opt to deny acceptance of the Kyoto Protocal without a reason (no matter how inadequate an argument it may be).
		While I definitely think the Kyoto protocol was a work in progress and should not have been abandoned, there was really no chance it would pass in the Senate without China agreeing to it as well, which most likely wasn't going to happen.

	Climate change and the future of the Kyoto Protocal \| Worldwatch Institute
		I would also argue that the Kyoto Protocol, if brought into force and effectively implemented, will eventually be seen as a major achievement.
		But while ultimately lowering emissions is needed to stabilize concentrations, carbon intensity can be a useful supplementary device--especially to policymakers who are skeptical that emissions can be reduced without negatively impacting the economy.
		Each country that signed the Kyoto Protocol is a matrix of different social and economic systems, each with its own processes and requirements for cycling greenhouse gases through the atmosphere.

		FYI the warming of our climate does produce an increase in extreme weather events but the overall trend is the planet is warming.
		Kyoto is not really a effective way to tackle this but a good idea would be to phase out fossil fuel power plants and completely replace them with nuclear ones as fast as possible.
		There are still fossil power plants being approved for construction in the US but this is what happens when you have an incompetant and inept administration who rely on donations from the oil industry.

		The agreement mirrors the international Kyoto treaty that was signed by 141 countries around the world and became law for the ratifying countries in February.
		That's why it's not politics - and why the Kyoto Agreement is a political, not a scientific gesture - full adherence to its limits barely begins to deal with the problem shown by the full range of emerging evidence.
		I'm against the Kyoto agreement, but if Becker could come up with another plan, to turn Racine into an efficient energy independent city which lowered our dependence on Pennsylvania coal and terrorist oil, I'd be in favor.
