What's with Australia? Not only are they copyright australopithicenes, but they (along with the U.S.) are the only big industrialized countries to reject Kyoto. Didn't they have some crazy anti-porn law in the works too?
@brian: You believe that propaganda? Firstly: I'm willing to bet China puts out almost as much pollution as America and Australia do. Secondly: The amount of credits a country has is decreased each year. Don't think of it as a matter of 'this country has such-and-such credit', that's really only there to prevent friction between governments. In the end, the credits that one country doesn't use are redistributed to countries that do use them, and thus the whole planet ends up with a set, ever-decreasing CO2 quota. Hope this clears things up for you.
@Rubbermaid Why would you make this about Kyoto? As an Australian I am proud of the strides we are making in curbing emissions but I am less than proud of our restrictive copyright legislation.

Kyoto would hurt the economy of America and let developing countries do whatever they want. Sounds really sweet, if you're China.
