Ding, Dong, The Kyoto Treaty is now fully awake and active

Russian Cabinet Approves Kyoto Protocol
Head of Russian Bureau of Meterology Supports Kyoto

Putin has officially signed on to Kyoto!! Now, onto the Duma. As his puppet it will pass the treaty as well.

Now, the countries responsible for production and emmission of 61% of greenhouse gasses have signed on.
This allows the Kyoto treaty to actually be implemented, despite the US refusal to join. America forces itself out of a worldwide coalition.
The Kyoto Protocol is by no means perfect. But it is a good first step towards a true planetary effort to stop global warming. Hopefully after America drags itself into this we can work to revise it to make it an effective treaty with teeth.

All we need is for the US to elect Kerry, who will actually approve the treaty so he can send it to the Legislature. I am not sure how our legislature will vote actually, we will have to see after the election.
