Becuase they are too greedy and shortsighted. Nothing will happen until global warming starts to affect their corporate profits and by that time it'll be too late

Because its a meaningless piece of toilet paper. The US and Australia have made up their own protocol which actually will work. Fortunately we are smart enough not to follow the sheep. BAAAAAA!

Former American Vice-president Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" sorry convenient truth visit to Australia.
1. I can show you parts of the world that where covered in water 100’s of years ago. Alexander the Great collected seashells for his army at one spot that is now a desert. The Ocean cannot be seen from the place even if you manage to climb the nearest hill.
2. The Sun Spot cycle has ended and good old American fear is going to be recycled again as well. You better make the movie before everything goes back to normal.
3. Low and behold the ozone hole is disappearing. Must be all those aerosol cans I don’t use anymore. Lets not worry the growing industrial giants like India and China, lets just scare the s%#*t out of gullible Australians. Australia has no industrial economy,and America sold it off. Jump on a plane and go to China and India. My god you will quiver in your boots at the pollution. The tech in the west is going to save the world. lets put our heads down and keep up the good work because it is working and woiking well.
4. As little as 1.5 % of scientists believe in global warming.
5. The Earth is cleaner and air better than 20 years ago. Yes! Our Earth abode is filthy - clean it up!!! But it sure won’t have any effect on global warming, it will however look and smell better. Bring on the electric car and nuclear energy.
6. Carbon Dioxide Levels go up and down all the time. In fact the levels have been higher in the ancient pass than now. Must have been all those Neanderthals and their stupid industries.
7. The planet has not had a major volcanic eruption for centuries. We are sadly overdue for one. Might stop fear mongering Americans catching flights out here.
8. The lakes are drying up. Yes! that’s because there are over 6 billion mouths draining them. Dammm! We should of let those thirsty Indian’s build their dam. Maybe the World Bank will lend Australia the money to build one when we get low. Thats right, we will ignore the white little radical rich hippies when it suits us.
9. Greenland and Antarctica ice shelves are melting. So what they have receded in the pass. Tasmania was carved out by glaciers, however it is lucky to get a sprinkling of snow every year. Once again blame it on those post Pleistocene industrial monsters.
10. The sea temperature is actually cooler than 10 years ago. Can some one tell me if that is bad or good for the growing whale population.
11. Here’s food for thought, a caldera called Toba exploded in Indonesia 75,000 years ago. 2,800 cubic kilometres of Earth was ejected into the atmosphere. To give you an idea Mt St Helens, eruption of 1984, ejected a mere 1 kilometre. Ash from Toba covered India in up to 6 meters of ash. Now that is more of a worry than Global warming. And yes its going to happen again. Sorry for provoking a fear responce.
12. And if you think Americans are jittery than try this on. Two meteorites crashed off South Africa some years ago and who swang the finger onto the nuclear button. Instead of a drop in temperature, caused from a couple of space stones, we could of had a nuclear winter.
13. Gore on hurricanes. What rot? There are no more and no less hurricanes in the world today than the past.
14. The Sun is 40% hotter today than its birth. Yes! I am sorry but gradually and finally the Earth is going to die. Not tomorrow but in a very long time. Just so they don’t grab an idea for a movie I will put a disclaimer in, (These events will take place billions of years from now).
15. The weather is hot and drought bad. However 15 years ago when this started guess what. So did the Suns Solar Cycle. And if you examine the SSC you might be in for a historical surprise.
16. I am so glad I love Astronomy and Space. I am going to build a rocket and escape from this place before I get cooked.
Money, money, money I have Al Gore in my tummy. That is what all the starving children in the world today are chanting. NOT!!!
Really in all honesty the Earth is in really good shape. The population will smooth out at approximately 10 billion and technology is advancing beautifully. Yes, we are guilty of being pigs and we over hunt fury critters and slippery wonders of the deep. This oil, war, terror thing really is about two races arguing themselves into the same corner.
Let me just say that Nuclear energy is not the bastion of the 20th century crazy physicist and we should not be that afraid of the atom. Fifteen natural fission reactors have been discovered within three unusual ore deposits at the Oklo mine in Gabon, West Africa. The Earth is still here after 2 billion years since they dispelled nuclear horror every where. Looks like Iran isn't the only one building up arms. Lets make a movie about mankind’s ancestors turning mutant two billion years ago making way for the rise of modern man.
I say bring on the electric car and make it compulsory to build Mosques and Churches next to each other. And a few degrees more in tempreture might stop us having the strength and energy to run around shooting one another. Now brother I would love to see that.

might want to nicely be human beings sense accountable about that. hence, they don't look going to signal it quickly. And FYI, the Kyoto protocol is growing older and new measures are necessary to step up the international emission administration. countries who participate in which have realized it, yet not positive even if any plans to implement them.

Auatralia? If they have not signed, then I wonder whether they are trying to compete with UK in pleasing the US (Read Bush)!
