Putin signs Kyoto Protocol (wahoo)

President Vladimir Putin has signed a bill confirming Russia's ratification of the Kyoto Protocol, clearing the way for the global climate pact to take force early next year which aims to stem global warming by reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.

This will certainly guarantee the European Union's support of Russia's bid to join the World Trade Organization.

What do i think? Well, it's one small step for man, one giant leap towards mankind's survival.

fyi: Kyoto has been rejected by the United States and Australia
