Thanks to Random Nuclear Strikes for pointing to a blogger in Belgium that recently reported on the political and economic uncertainty the country is experiencing due to implementation of the Kyoto Protocols. Live From Brussels explains the problem well:
This morning on the Belgian radio news: Fientje Moerman, minister of economic affairs, lamenting about the woes the Kyoto protocol is causing. Either it means very heavy investments in even further (minimal) pollution reduction (which causes companies to run away and jobs to be lost) or it means sending large amounts of cash abroad for no good reason ('buying clean air elsewhere').Ever since the Kyoto Treaty was approved, prudent people have known that it would be unworkable and a bad idea. It'll just take a few more years before there's a massive revision that makes sense or, in my opinion, it will just die.
