Canada, with relatively strong economic growth twice that of the UK has decided not to renew its commitment to Kyoto.*
With the biggest polluters-China, US, India- not even signatories this seems a sensible move.
So, with the UK struggling with a declining GDP/capita ** and a low growth, is it time for us not renew our commitment as well?

If we are not careful we could be standing tall on the moral high ground with with high unemployment and no industry. What good would that do for anyone or the planet?
