No surprises here, but Canada (as well as Europe) are quietly letting Kyoto slide into oblivion. All in all, the Kyoto treaty was a smashing success at its true objective, which was to provide European governments with an easy, no-obligation opportunity for bashing America. This bashing has affected me personally, since no one in Europe (not even my sweet, vaguely pink, girlfriend) realizes that the European governments have not, in fact, implemented Kyoto's requirements-- a fact which led to an unfortunate argument when we could have been enjoying our dinner. If she were not a computer-less lass as well as the most adorable Bolshevik you're ever likely to meet, I could forward this link to her; but something tells me that wouldn't be such a hot idea anyway.
