This is Australian Politics but is does concern Global Warming, The current prime minister John Howard made the argument that we Australians can not sign Kyoto because he wants tougher Carbon targets placed on both China and India.He said he had recent discussions with both George Bush and the Chinese Premier and John said the Americans were on GW ,prepared for concessions which was interesting?Kevin Rudd destroyed this line of reasoning by stating that indeed if the US and Australia were not prepared to Ratify Kyoto, then they might in the future not meet tougher restrictions placed on them ,and India not wanting to be disadvantaged will also pull out and the whole thing will fall apart, the USA is the key to the whole thing as the whole world needs leadership on this important issue.

So what do you think is the future of the Kyoto protocol if the USA does not ratify the treaty themselves?
