In a report filed with the United Nations, the Spanish environmental ministry predicted that in 2010, Spain's carbon dioxide emissions would have increased by 49% over 1990. The Kyoto protocol is supposedly to go into effect between 2008 and 2012, and Spain will be unable to meet its commitments. Doing so would cost at least €20 billion, at least 600,000 jobs, and two percentage points of inflation, not counting the companies that would move to countries where environmental restrictions are less costly.

So the lefty govt doesn't want to spend a mere 20 billion euros, lose 1/2 million jobs and cost 2% in inflation and possibly lose some companies. Oh well not really anything new is it? THe soviets were the worst polluters in the world, but used their propanganda effort to point to the horrors of US pollution.

I hope the EU sues Spain into the poorhouse.
