text: what is the level of the implementation of the kyoto protocol world wide?   kyoto is relating to the co2 emissions which countries emit, the majority of europe has signed up to this agreement but the real harmful players have not. u.s.a for instance thinks it can battle global warming with technology and will not sign up to it and china has plans to build one coal fired power station every week for the next seven years so the real effects that kyoto was intended to do will be offset by these two nations alone. i think it was a great idea and i am not a tree hugger or anything but i do beleive that the kyoto agreement is the best way to go. the fact of the matter is that those countries which have signed up to it are not cutting their emissions by nearly enough anyway and our own government is giving it's big companies it's own ways to bypass their responsibilities in buying 'co2 allowances' from other companies anyway, i can not help but think that this kyoto agreement was doomed to failure the moment it was signed
