Hey Gang....
Just saw the news on Reuters. Putin has officially signed on to KYOTO!! Now, the Duma (of course it's dominated by his party) is expected to pass it as well.
Now, the countries responsible for production and emmission of 61% of " greenhouse gasses" have signed on.
Guess who the lone wolf is..again!?? The U.S.
This move now paves the way for implementation despite the US refusal to join, and again we will be seen as a pariah among the civilized world. That "world" is increasingly being led by the EU folks, not the US!!!
BTW...I highly recommend a book I just finished called "The European Dream". Author is noted social thinker Jeremy Rifkin. It really lays out how the EU is taking the lead in things that will matter as we move into the future. That does'nt include war. Peace all......
