Hätten die USA damals dem Kyoto-Protokoll zugestimmt – wäre das Land heute vielleicht weniger stark vom (mittlerweil verdammt teuren) Erdöl abhängig?
In 1998 the heads of state of the USA and Australia failed to ratify the Kyoto protocols. They were trying to protect their country’s economies. Ironically, they engineered a situation where not only is the US economy under greater threat than it would have been had our leaders ratified the protocols, the entire world economy is now seriously threatened.
