Climate treaty takes effect, but will it matter?
Why aren't we a part of the Kyoto Pact?
I can't help it, I have to wonder why, what is the REAL reason we aren't joining the Kyoto pact? Yeah, it will be bad for business, but then so is death. And what's happening is, we are killing the earth. Now your all rolling your eyes saying "Oh God another tree hugger". That aside, since I'm only a tree hugger for trees that are older than humans (The redwoods, the rain forest etc) you have to look at what's occurred to earth since we began producing toxins to the atmosphere over the past 100 years.
So yeah, I wonder what the real reason is that we aren't joining. It might be bad for a company, because they might actually loose some profit at first, but so what? Would it be so terrible if they had to think before spending like the rest of us do?
Next though I have to wonder why those who have joined the Kyoto pact aren't getting countries like China and India to join? After all they have MILLIONS of people, and many companies are moving their businesses to their soil, is it just because they aren't considered 1st world countries? Unless they are made to follow the guidelines too, then what's the point for the rest of us to follow them. Because what's to stop companies/corporations moving their entire business to those soils and then YES it is bad for business - bad for the people who would have worked for those businesses.
It makes much more sense to have EVERY country on this earth to join and follow the rules. No special incentives for anyone. After all, there is only one earth.
“I call on the world community to be bold, to adhere to the Kyoto Protocol, and to act quickly in taking the next steps, there is no time to lose.” The Kyoto pact is an adjunct to the 1992 U.N. treaty on climate change.
