Having listened to both reports, I too find it quite amazing. The only
thing
it seems the Americans understand is money.

Since the political will to impose sanctions against countries which
pollute
(such as the US) does not appear to be there, I feel my only option is to
stop buying American, and hope that enough people will feel similarly
strong
about it to do the same. I suspect they'd still be producing CFC aerosols
were it not for the consumer.

There seems little else we can do!

Given the fact that the Kyoto protocol was supposed to limit CO2 which is
supposedly a greenhouse gas and that more than 50 per-cent of the human
population have been exempt, these being China and India. If one is serious
about limiting CO2 then these countries would have been included.
It is infantile to suggest that American goods should be boycotted.
China will be using more oil than America by 2010 and more than America and
the EU put together by 2015. Do we then say let's boycott Chinese goods and
then see how qucikly we get accused of racism.
When India are added to the equation by 2015 China and India will be
using 3 times more oil than the US.
Kyoto is dead in the water. It was never meant to be anything else.
