the Kyoto agreement or protocol is a non-binding agreement under which countries will reduce their carbon missions by a certain percent. Although, the Protocol was signed by many nations, each individual country must ratify it within their own governments to make this agreement binding. The US was one of such countries that failed to ratify this agreement when brought to Congress.
the good thing about the agreement is that it is protected countries from muting to much carbon into the air causing global warming and destroying the ozone layer and it provides expiation's for 3rd world countries and developing nations.
the worst hooting about the agreement is to make energy more expensive and dictators more wealthy then the coyote protocol has seceded brilliants. all coyote would do is create restrictions our government shouldn't Reich resulting in higher taxes inflation and apolitical unrest and socialism.
hope it helps it did for my debate at school! =special ED
There are no good reasons for not signing the Kyoto Protocol although by now, with its operating period almost finished, it would only be a symbolic gesture.
A possible reason for not signing or ratifying the Protocol is political advantage. It is always easier to appear populist by opposing a measure that people do not fully understand and which some fear will cost them money.
Another reason would be the genuine belief that global warming is beyond our control. For senior politicians to hold such a belief would be a pity, given all the sound scientific advice available, yet this is certainly possible.
A:The most popular reason is that many do not believe that the Kyoto Protocol will reduce CO2 at all. It only calls for requested limits by some countries. Other countries that are signers can increase their CO2 levels at will. Even the developed countries that are requested to reduce are able to increase their CO2 levels by purchasing credits from other countries.
A:Although Global Warming is heavily supported, there is still debate over whether it really is a problem which can be solved by cutting down on emissions.
· Causes animosity between nations who want to join and ones that don't.
Economic: pumping less pollutants into the air costs money! Nations will have to produce less, or find more expensive ways to make factories etc. ecologically friendly. Job loss may occur as well.
One criticism is that the agreements do not go far enough.
Another criticism is that they are not binding
A further criticism is that developing countries such as China and India are exempt from the protocal, although China is actually making considerable progress in minimising its carbon emissions.
The number one criticism most groups have against the Kyoto Protocol is that it allows doubling of emissions by almost every signing country. With a few notable exceptions, signing countries are allowed to increase their CO2 production at will. China, which already produces 27% of all CO2 , will be allowed to increase their production to whatever they desire over the next twenty years. India and other "developing" countries will be able to do likewise.
The handful of countries that are ASKED to try to reduce, will not be required to provide any actual savings either. Any country that wishes to exceed these limits will be allowed to purchase the CO2 from other countries.
This makes the Kyoto Protocol agreement nothing more then political rhetoric and a method of transferring billions to developing countries while allowing unmitigated increases in CO2.
It didn't fail. It is still working.
help me pls
yes Spain did sign the Kyoto protocol
Yes, China has signed and ratified the Kyoto protocol.
The Kyoto Protocol happened because governments around the world had come to realise that global warming is a real threat and that it is only by concerted action of all nations that catastrophic global warming can be prevented.
Kyoto is a protocol for environment changes. It has recently shifted its focus to ozone depletion too.
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement while the Copenhagen Accord is a political agreement.
It's Kyoto not Tokyo "Kyoto protocol".
yes Spain did sign the Kyoto protocol
Yes, China has signed and ratified the Kyoto protocol.
