UN, EU slam Canberra on failure to sign Kyoto I know, "Yadda, yadda." But catch this (emphasis mine):
The United Nations and European Union yesterday condemned Australia's refusal to ratify the Kyoto climate change treaty, and Germany's environment minister suggested Australia needed a new government.I wonder what part of STFU he doesn't understand?
But wait, there's more:
The UN Environment Program's executive director Klaus Toepfer accused the US and Australia - the only two industrialised nations that have declared their refusal to ratify the treaty - of being selfish.I'm deeply saddened.
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan called on countries to "expedite the ratification process", in a reference to treaty-blockers Australia, the US and Russia.Don't hold your breath, Sophie.
Why are we paying for these ankle biters?
