There is no Planet B!

Abstract: Abstract It almost seems prehistoric. On 11 December 1997, I participated in the third Conference of the Parties (COP 3) meeting in Kyoto. There we hammered out and adopted the first international climate change agreement, known as the Kyoto Protocol. It called upon 37 industrialized nations to reduce their carbon emissions by 5.2 percent from their 1990 emissions level. It went into effect on 16 February 2005, more than seven years after it was adopted. The United States, the largest global emitter until 2007 (now surpassed by China), never became a signatory.
