Most Huggable: Australia Signs Kyoto, the "Corn Story," Global Warming Guy + More
by Team Treehugger, Worldwide on 12. 3.07
Australia's new Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, signed the instrument of ratification of the Kyoto Protocol in his first act after being sworn in this morning, leaving the US as the only developed nation not to have ratified it.
What's wrong with the environmental movement? Here's one take on the topic; do you agree or disagree?
Dig in to the various sides of the “corn story” -- on one side, there's farmers, telling us they can’t survive without the subsidies; on the other side, the rest of us who aren't fans of corn-based ethanol.
Produced and presented by the Coastal Conservation League, Global Warming Guy is a lighthearted look at the serious issue of global climate change.
The British government should introduce new laws to help IT vendors and enterprises cut their carbon footprint, environmental charity Global Action Plan has warned.

If emission of carbon dioxide isn't reduced,what will happen after several decades?no one knows the results,only predict from the current conditions.development and environmental protecting seem a couple of conflict,but people have no choice and have to adopt some measures to avoid the conditions becoming worse so Kyoto agreement was reached.who is responsible for these problems?who produces and who is.
Wonderful news. Everything possible needs to be done to build momentum towards post-Kyoto agreements, which are very soon going to become a major issue. Having Australia's voice added to the support for meaningful world climate change measures can only aid in that process.
This could well be a step towards the United States adopting in time for the changeover, too.
