UN - Carbon Emissions By Industrialized Nations Rising Sharply After Decline In 1990s- AFP

EDIT

Here are the report's main points:

-- By the end of 2005, the United States emitted 16.3 percent more greenhouse gases than in 1990. Australia, the other industrialised Kyoto holdout, was 25.6 percent above the 1990 benchmark.

-- Emissions by Russia rose to 2.3 billion tonnes in 2005 from 2.09 billion in 2004.

-- Overall, Kyoto's Annex 1 countries are projected to achieve reductions of 10.8 percent by 2012 over 1990 levels. Under the Protocol, the Annex 1 group is committed to a five percent cut as a whole.

-- This 10.8-percent cut depends on the Annex 1 countries implementing all their promised policies and measures and factoring in the collapse of carbon-spewing industries in Central and Eastern Europe. Green groups brand this latter calculation an accountancy trick.

-- Within the European Union (EU), which is Kyoto's big champion, only four countries of the pre-enlargement EU-15 (Britain, France, Germany and Sweden) are on course for meeting their 2012 targets without additional measures. Portugal, Ireland, Austria, Italy and Spain were already as much as three times over their Kyoto ceiling in 2005.
