Kyoto is supposed to work towards reducing carbon emmissions while still giving poor countries a chance to develop. But the greens here are trying to put coal sanctions on China and India, even though Kyoto allows them to import coal. No wonder developing countries don't trust the west.

Australian greens want us to sign Kyoto then just break or ignore whichever of its terms don't suit them. If you sign an international agreement you should keep it, otherwise countries won't trust you and work with you to make things better.

Canada accounts for only 2 to 3% of the total worlds pollution. If we took every truck, bus and suv off the road we MIGHT get down to 1%. Let's not throw money at these third world countries via KYOTO.
