Playing Kyoto hot potato

[source, source]

A team of officials responsible for a key part of the Kyoto implementation plan has been decimated by resignations, raising questions about whether insiders believe the plan can work …

“The key people that we dealt with are almost all gone,” said John Bennett of the Sierra Club. “They had the expertise and the calculations and had negotiated with industry for a couple of years. They have to all be replaced.”

Natural Resources officials won’t speak on the record, but some privately mock Environment Canada’s Kyoto plan as little more than a fiction filled with soft numbers and wishful thinking

Given the usual imperviousness of the Left and the Greens to actual facts, the situation for the Kyoto Protocol must be stunningly dire.
