Russia was not interested in Kyoto because of the purported environmental claims, but how much money they could get out of it by the Eurocrats rigging of the scheme.
FYI, Putin's action might have something to do with coal. I read a while back that Russia aimed to increase coal electricity production to free up more oil for export and export earnings.

Russia just bought Getty Oil and has over 1,000 gasoline stations in the USA.
Putie may be a PIA at times, but he isn't going to commit financial suicide for himself and his country.

Also in Russia almost every two week, new factory open...so I believes, Russia soon run out of "credit" to sell anyway. Beside, warmer weather....why not? Envirogoons not count on Russians saying hmmm warmer weather, why not? Then they not count on having to rely on Russia for silly pact.
