China and other developing nations get a pass on reducing their CO2 emissions. Kyoto limits are only goals for each country and those countries who agreed to limit their CO2 output in accordance with the Kyoto Protocol can purchase the rest of their CO2 generation needs from each other.
The participants in the Kyoto meetings recognised that developing countries would not be able to move out of poverty and develop strong economies if they could never increase their CO2 emissions. China is now the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide in aggregate, but its per head emissions are still low. Along with other developing countries, China is permitted to increase its carbon dioxide emissions.

Which gas does the Kyoto Treaty seek to limit?
Carbondioxide or CO2, beneath which rock did you live?
Which country emits maximum CO2?
china
What is the purpose of the Kyoto protocol?
To get 55 different countries to sign and ratify the protocol and hopefully reduce the world's greenhouse gases by 5.2% by 2012
Which country has signed but not ratified the Kyoto environmental protocol?
The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty that sets binding obligations on industrialized countries to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. The United States signed but did not ratify the Protocol and Canada withdrew from it in 2011.
How countries regulate carbon dioxide emissions?
The regulation and controls of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions exist through domestic law and international convention and treatises. These include cap and trade regimes and treaties such as the Kyoto Protocols.
How will the Kyoto protocol help Antarctica?
It really has little short or near term affect on this portion of the planet. The Kyoto Protocol is an attempt to curb CO2 emissions through the transfer of large amounts of money. No country must lower emissions to comply with Kyoto. The few countries that are asked to curb emissions are permitted to become exempt through the transfer of money. Many countries, including the world largest producer of CO2 (China), are allowed, under Kyoto, to increase their production at will.
Why has Canada become the Kyoto klutz?
1980, a Canadian anywhere in Europe, with a Flag Pin was a welcome sight; now, what (along) with Copenhagen demonstrations against Canada, this has been Altered.The U.S. did not sign the Kyoto Accord and have had a seven % increase in their CO2 emissions. Canada did Sign On for a six % CO2 emissions reduction yet have delivered a 17 % increase.

Why does an increase of NaOH indicate an increase of CO2?
The reaction is:NaOH + CO2 = Na2CO3An increase of CO2 lead to an increase of NaOH consumed.
Which gas does the Kyoto Treaty seek to limit?
Carbondioxide or CO2, beneath which rock did you live?
Should the us sign the Kyoto or not?
"Yes We Should" Argument: Kyoto will reduce Carbon Dioxide emissions of developed countries and thus reduce the effect of Global Warming. "No, We Shouldn't" Argument: Kyoto places the majority of the cost on the U.S. Also, it completely ignores the developing countries of China and India, the former of whom will soon bypass us in CO2 emmissions.
Does increase in CO2 increase or decrease respiratory rate?
CO2 WILL increase your respiratory rate as you are needing to breathe in more air (oxygen) to breathe.
What effect would an increase in co2 have on respiratory rate?
respiration rate would increase in order to blow off co2
How does the pH in the blood change with an increase in the level of CO2?
An increase in blood CO2 levels will result in an increase in carbonic acid formation, and therefore lower the pH.
Why is CO2 increase and what are the effects?

How does increase of CO2 levels affect photosynthesis?
Up to a point, an increase of the reactant Carbon dioxide will increase the production of oxygen (increase the rate of photosynthesis). However, it will eventually change the ratio of CO2 and water as the CO2 increases, and the production of oxygen will decrease, (or in other words, the rate of photosynthesis decreases). This is one of the reasons why an increase of CO2 levels in the atmosphere is dangerous, as oxygen levels will decrease.
When blood CO2 levels increase does the pH increase or decrease?
It decreases.
Which country emits maximum CO2?
china
