What year was the Kioto (sp?) agreement first available for the US to sign?

Question

2.) When did Australia sign?

Answer 1

in July 1997, during the CLINTON administration the US Senate voted a resolution saying Kyoto was fatally flawed and we would have nothing to do with it; as a result Pres Clinton and VP Gore never bothered to bring it to the Senate for a formal vote.

The resolution was passed 95-0; yes, NINETY FIVE to NOTHING

Answer 2

The Kyoto Protocol opened for signature on December 11, 1997, in Kyoto, Japan. It is an amendment to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which assigns mandatory emission limitations — aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions — to signatory nations.

According to an Australian press release, Australia became a part of the Kyoto Protocol on 11 March 2008
