    Once again Russia has NOT said they would reject the Kyoto treaty.

    As a matter fact it is to be put to the Duma in 2004.

    Yeah, so I've read in the paper today. Boy, it's hard work fighting for better air...

    BTW, Happy B-day, skywalker.
    I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.

    I'm thinking on what kind of credit trading deal the EU can work out. IIRC, they were looking to financially benefit from selling credits to the US. That obviously isn't an option now.

    Russia's premier minister Mikhael Kasjanov has stated today that Russia will sign the Kyoto Treaty.

    So it more and more looks like that Russia will in fact sign the Kyoto Treaty. Why would they do that if, as some claim, there is no evidence of a connection between industrial pollution and global warming?

    Had they refused they could have done so without losing face, and could have pointed to other countires not being willing to sign. If Russia signs the treaty becomes binding.

    So are the Russian scientists wrong too?

    But did he say that Russia will ratify the treaty?

    IIRC, they were looking to financially benefit from selling credits to the US.
    Probably, most people were.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
