Kyoto? Apparently Not Important to Europe

The Kyoto Accord, one of the first reason any foreigner gives as support for the U.S. being a "unilateral" nation, is not even being implemented properly in Western Europe:

According to the protocol, western European nations must reduce their emissions to levels 8 percent lower than those of 1990. But in the years since the treaty was negotiated, carbon dioxide levels increased by 7 percent in France, 11 percent in Italy and 29 percent in Spain. Overall, the increase for western Europe was 5.4 percent.

It seems that this is the Hollywood argument: don't worry what we do ourselves, we just want you to change your behavior...
