Absolute travesty!
Koreanet.com(Nov. 20).
North Korea agreed to the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement aimed at reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, last April, a South Korean government official said on Sunday. The official said on condition of anonymity Why would someone EVER need to speak on a "condition of anonymity", regarding Kyoto?!?!?! that the North joined the Kyoto Protocol under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on April 27 and that the communist country is expected to carry out the obligations stipulated in the accord. "North Korea appears to have had the Supreme People's Assembly ratify the pact," he said. This will help what?
"The North is likely to send its delegation to a United Nations meeting on global climate change in Montreal, Canada, on Nov. 28."
The Chosun Shinbo, a pro-Pyongyang newspaper based in Japan, also reported that North Korea accepted the Kyoto Protocol in April as part of its efforts to join the international community in sustainable development. Observers said that the North Korean move can be interpreted as its realization that the environmental issue has become one of the most important global agendas.
I guess you would have to be fairy "left", to think climate change is a "pressing" issue for North Korea... Did anyone watch or read CNN tonight? Try this link. It's got video, and other special reports. Eh, CNN is a worthy FOX competitor...
North Korea has rarely attended international meetings related to the Kyoto Protocol. "The U.N. agreement on climate change is an issue which no nation cannot ignore, except the U.S, Australia, China, and the entire third world... an official at the Ministry of Environment said. "Aware of the international move on environment, North Korea is preparing for it." The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in 1997 and came into force on Feb. 17 after Russia ratified it. Oh. I didn't know Russia bared the responsibility of ratifying it. However, the U.S., the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide, has rejected the treaty, questioning its effectiveness and possible damage to the U.S. economy. The protocol requires industrialized countries to cut down carbon dioxide and other greenhouse-gas emissions to 5.2 percent below the 1990 levels between 2008 and 2012. South Korea, unlike industrialized countries to be regulated by the protocol from 2008, is currently exempt from the reduction scheme. I didn't know that either. There is no PRACTICAL standard to the "protocol", as only select countries share any burden for Kyoto. In reality, North Korea shares NO burden of global CO2 emissions...
