Howard helped deliver US approval on his visit to Washington last week, and Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer was given the priviledge of announcing it to the world with US representatives in the background, because ,... well...Australia drove this, not the US, and lets be honest, its not as though the US is able to deliver the support of China on just about anything these days, is it?

Ever heard of <a href="http://modleft.blogspot.com/2005/06/bushs-methane-emissions-us-world.html" rel="nofollow">Methane to Markets</a>?

Because of that no American government, Republican or Democrat, will ever sign on to it. Doing so would put American businesses and jobs at a disadvantage to two of our fastest growing rivals.

The European bureaucrats hate it because they were not involved in writing it, and it does not sufficiently punish America. Kyoto does not include China or India.
