Every other major country in the world has been doing so, Nate, in accordance with the "Kyoto Climate Change Protocol", which the US alone out of all the industrialised nations of the world refused to ratify.
The EU as a whole, for example, now has CO2 emissions which are 4.7% lower than 1990 levels (the Kyoto target is 5%); the figure in the UK is about 7% lower than 1990. In the same period, the US's CO2 emissions have
increased. Every country in the world takes this seriously - with the notable exception of the US.
