You committed to comply with its terms anyway but now it appears you can't. Not only will you fail, but your CO2 emissions are growing at a faster rate than the evil U.S. Isn't that amazing!
I didn't mention the "massive" forest management initiatives because everybody but you, apparently, realizes that this initiative basically is just window dressing.
Yeah, you've got time to comply......which is probably why half of the team working on developing Canada's Kyoto implementation plan recently resigned. You must be half way to meeting your goals.....

So now you are projecting the thoughts of Kyoto signers, that Canada signed because they knew that the US wouldn't. How do you come across this information, were you in the boardroom? I'm curious to why you care about Kyoto, since the US position is that it is a pointless exercise. I'm also curious as to why you think no new nuclear plants have been built in the US since the early 70's. Or do you think that Jimbo deserves to have rolling brown-outs every once in a while, just to keep him on his toes.
