TOKYO, Japan -- Japan has effectively abandoned the Kyoto Protocol limiting greenhouse gas emissions, according to a report released Sunday.

Japanese industry groups have forced the government to drop mandatory restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto agreement, making it unlikely Tokyo will be able to meet its reduction targets, the Yomiuri newspaper said.

Hahahaha!

The Guardian will blow a gasket.

"However, after the United States pulled out of the pact in March, Japan questioned whether there was any meaning in ratifying it without the world's biggest industrial power -- and polluter -- on board. "

I thought that China was the number 1 polluter? Any way, good article, proves that maybe humans are not causing "global warming".

Well the CCP says they're not. And if you can't trust the CCP who can you trust?

This just goes to show you how brilliant Bush is for not supporting this rotten treaty.

Where are the screaming socialists (DNC) now?

[Jason Kauppinen]

I thought the USSR was the world's biggest polluter. After all, they had Chernobyl, and regularly dumped nuclear waste into the ocean....

[Lancey Howard]

Japan has turned its back on the Kyoto agreement targets in the wake of lengthening unemployment queues and an economic slump

Wha.....?? Th-There's a CONNECTION ?!?

[Miss Marple]

I knew I liked that Japanese Prime Minister. He looks like the Iron Chef. LOL!

Could there be something going on that isn't being shown on TV? Like old fashioned diplomacy?

BWA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAA!

I'm gonna go celbrate by taking the catalytic converter off my car, smoking a big fat cigar and getting some cows to fart!

[Faraday]

That's it! Announce that you have no intention of abiding by treaty restrictions and then announce your plan to ratify the treaty. And the morons in the media, the euroweenies, and socialists call President Bush a hypocrite for not signing a treaty that is not in our interest. Too funny!

[KC_Conspirator]

Hell, China was not even a part of the Kyoto Treaty. I just love how these articles failed to ever mention that the US produces more than any other country as well. I guess they are going to have to change the name now are'nt they?

[Timesink]

I know how to spell "celebrate," by the way. The bottle of champagne got in the way of the keyboard.
