Kyoto may be empty shell by 12 as nations opt out [1]

The future of the Kyoto Protocol is in peril and the global compact could end up being an empty shell by 2012. Major developed countries, including Japan, Russia and Canada, have refused to be part of the protocol in its second phase and to commit targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions under it. Europe has also changed the goalposts.
