Message: Iraq Votes For Kyoto Protocol In what seems the biggest irony of modern green politics, the Iraqi government voted last week to endorse the Kyoto Protocol. Mike Niza of the New York Times blog, “The Lede” has this to say: The Iraqis decided to join the pioneering, yet troubled pact almost two weeks after Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was hailing legislative progress on another front. But the AFP report did not get specific on the amount of greenhouse-gas emissions Iraq would seek to cut. As was the case when Australia ratified the treaty in December, Iraq’s decision seemed destined to focus more attention on the United States’s status as the only industrialized countries refusing to join. www.corporateknightsforum.com
