"Like other industrialized countries, Japan has committed itself to reducing its carbon emissions substantially by the year 2010 - in Japan's case to 6% less than 1990 levels.

But despite its good intentions, Japan's performance has been embarrassingly weak - carbon emissions have actually increased by nearly 8%. "

"The protocol was signed in 1997 and entered into force one year ago after the required number of countries ratified it. It commits industrialized nations to cut their emissions by an average of five percent from their 1990 levels, by 2012.

National targets were set for individual countries, with the U.S., the world's biggest polluter, set a target of reducing emissions by seven percent from their 1990 levels.

Other targets included a six percent cut for Japan and Canada, and an eight percent aggregate reduction for the E.U.'s then 15 member states, each of which also had its own, national, target."

"While Kyoto’s failure may be news to the public, it’s not to former vice president and global-warmer-in-chief Al Gore, who smugly admitted on Jan. 4 at a political gathering that included yours truly, “Did we think Kyoto would work when we signed it [in 1997]?... Hell no!”

Gore explained that the actual point of Kyoto was to demonstrate that international support could be mustered for action on the environment"

So this demonstration has "only" cost 150 billion so far. But if human stupidity is infinite as some have postulated this tree hugger demonstatration will end up costing much more.

Imagine the cost if country who actually took treaties seriously [e.g. the US] had been stupid enough to sign it. Fortuately the Senate was wise enough to vote overwhelmingly against it.
