[Global Dashboard] Kicking Kyoto: Now you may wish to argue that EU emissions would have risen faster were it not for Kyoto, or that prospective EU policies will quickly reverse the increase in emissions among EU 15 members excluding the UK and Germany. But it seems to me that unless you are prepared to argue that Kyoto had something to do with Margaret Thatcher’s politically motivated dismantling of the coal industry in the 1980’s and the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc, you ought to concede the point that Kyoto, and Kyoto motivated policies have, to date, failed to reduce EU emissions.
