something is better than nothing... isnt it?

Well the all singing and dancing solution to the worlds Greenhouse problems is of course the Asia Pacific Partnership for Clean Development and Climate Change. At least thats what we were told in Australia. No need for Kyoto if we can get Japan, China, India, Sth Korea, Australia and the USA all working together towards reducing emissions (but purely on a voluntary basis of course... ), or at least stuffing the CO2 back in the ground.

Well it seems, despite the Bush administrations best effort, that the US congress has has decided to give the partnership the nod to the tune of $0 dollars for 2007 after spending the sum total of $0 over the life of the partnership so far. Seems, rather than the great leapfrog forward over Kyoto, that they're are saying the APPCDCC is not worth the paper it was signed on...

Oh well, at least I can scrape together another $80 a year for Greenfleet....
