Calling the Kyoto Protocol, the global warming treaty negotiated in 1997, based on "bad science," the chief science advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Yuri Izrael, led what appears to be a surprising turnaround for Russia from in favour of Kyoto ratification, to opposed. Izrael's comments came at the World Climate Change Conference in Moscow at the beginning of October. Treaty proponents are counting on Russia's support in order for the treaty to go into effect. The treaty rules stipulate that it will go into effect if countries representing 55 percent of world production of "greenhouse" gases ratify it. If Russia were to ratify the treaty, it could go into effect, even in the absence of support from the United States, which signed it, but has refused to ratify it. iGreen commentHmmm? Many western politicians who signed the treaty to gain cheap votes, are now having second thoughts. If Russia to scuppered it they could get the credit for signing without having to pay the costs. |
