happy kyoto protocol day eve
Let's all sing a Kyoto Protocol Day Eve carol, and hang our traditional Kyoto Protocol Day Eve fake smog clouds from the ceilings!
Seriously though, the Kyoto protocol comes into effect tomorrow for the countries that signed it (i.e. basically everybody except the U.S. and Australia). Good news, certainly, but most people who know enough about climate change to be all good and freaked out about it agree that it is only a small step in the right direction.
Not to be outdone by all those countries legally binding themselves to a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions, the U.S. has been drilling for oil like crazy since Bush took office.
