Did You Know?

While some of us were watching Angry Beavers on Saturday mornings, Japan and the United Nations were composing an international Protocol (treaty) that aimed at fighting global warming. It was called the Kyoto Protocol and it was a product of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change which had the goal of achieving the “stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system” (United Nations 1997- 2005).  The real reason I am bringing this up is because the United States was one of the 4 countries who did NOT sign this protocol.  The rest of the world is on board but us…Did you know that?!
