Russia slams Kyoto Protocol

The worlds volcanos have also refused to go along with this silliness & they put out far more CO2 than man does!

Two down...192 to go. They are stating the wrong reasons, but going in the right direction. Kyoto won't do anything to combat global warming - it just redistributes money at the discretion of the UN. We definitely don't need that.

If AGW is real, the Kyoto Protocol will not solve the problem.
If AGW is a hoax, the Kyoto Protocol is an ineffective solution for a non-existant problem.
Either way, the Kyoto Protocol has no effect on global warming - it is just about money.

We need to get rid of the UN before the UN gets rid of US.

So, since the UN announced a "landmark deal" coming out of Durban, Canada drops out of the current Kyoto treaty and Russia again states they will not sign up to a Kyoto 2. It certainly looks like the UN was stretching a bit to save face.

Sure did take a long time for Russia to realize, they were about to be screwed, for the greater good.

If you want more expensive gasoline, please $upport this idiotic bill.

"Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich told Friday's briefing that the treaty does not cover all major polluters, and thus cannot help solve the climate crisis."

Everyone see this? Even the Russians get it. So far, climate treaties have been nothing more than thinly veiled efforts to cripple Western economies via regulation and soak their treasuries via transfer payments. Unless they are universally applied, they are as meaningless as the paper they have been printed on. China and India laugh all the way to the bank.

I will only support climate treaties that apply eqaully to ALL nations.

Aren't these the people that just discovered huge plumes of methane bubbling out of the arctic?

Taxing the air you breath, in 1970's it was the coming ice age, today they call it global warming, either way, they are liars. Raising taxes won't change the weather.

These idiots are at it again.Hurray for Russia,they know what KYOTO really is.

kyoto and global "alarming" is the world's largest ponzi scheme and those that are at its head should be thrown in jail. Just follow their money trail like al gored and you'll see all the "proceeds" go to them and nothing to its original "cause".

The Russians are no longer communists (thus they must reject the communist wealth redistribution scheme that allows 80% of the world to do NOTHING while taking money from the successful nations to give it to the beggar nations).

Well, let us see... JAPAN won't support KYOTO agreement. I don't think I need to know any more than that.

Most of temperature rise is hot air expelled by elected representatives.

Euro? Drowning in debt. Kyoto Protocol? Climate volatility worsens. WTO? U.S. and world ship trillions to China, and China does diddly to open up. Any other multilateral schemes?

I'm glad to see other countries are coming to their senses regarding the Kyoto Protocol. That flawed fiasco the USA was the first nation to reject.

Even Canada and Russia are smarter than we are. WAKE UP AMERICA!!! We all know global warming is a lie, now other countries are too. When did we become the liberal agenda pushing country of the world? All you liberals kill yourselves and the rest of you stand up for your f@&$%ing country!!!!

And lets not forget about Canada pulling out. The Russians know its a scam and are just being polite about getting away from the con artists.

Since the Earth is not a static system and has been heating and cooling its entire existence can one of our enlightened liberal climate experts please breakdown the percent of warming due to manmade influences and the percent due to natural cyclical processes?

So since Japan is pulling out does that mean they will have to change the name? Maybe they should call it something that makes more sense like "Al Gore's Carbon Credit Protocol"

Kyoto is about large Gov. subsidies for technology that is not economically feasible, and many times junk science. Wind mills and solar panels are not working.
