Was the kyoto treaty passed?

Question

does anyone is the kyoto treaty passed??

Answer 1

Kyoto is an accord, not a treaty.  The US has flatly refused to become a signatory, as has Australia and other smaller nations, because the accord is nothing but a warm and fuzzy feel good document that has no teeth, no way to 'enforce' its provisions, and creates a sort of secondary marketplace for international "green tags" for those nations who fail to meet their program goals.  Not only that, but sigantory nations aren't held accountable until they come up with a program of their own design with whatever goals are meaningful under the terms and conditions of the "ACCORD".

An accord just means they all agree to agree.  That's all.

Answer 5

The Kyoto Protocol is not a treaty, it is an amendment to the international treaty on climate change.

The treaty on climate change as originally framed set no mandatory limits on greenhouse gas emissions for individual nations and contained no enforcement provisions; it is therefore considered legally non-binding. It entered into force on March 21, 1994.

The Kyoto Protocol came into force on February 16, 2005 following ratification by Russia on November 18, 2004.

The United States, although a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol, has neither ratified it nor withdrawn from it. It is the president that signs but Congress has to ratify it.
