A slap on the wrist

No more Brie for you! From Dow Jones comes this story of an EU sanction:

EU Cites 10 Countries For Breaking Climate Change Rules
The European Commission Thursday sent warnings to 10 countries that haven't followed a range of climate change rules.

The regulations, including emissions controls and trading schemes, are part of a larger climate change initiative outlined under the Kyoto Protocol.

The Commission sent letters to Cyprus, Greece, Luxembourg, Malta, and Poland for failing to link their records on national emissions with a pan-European system.

The Commission warned Austria, Cyprus, Hungary, Luxembourg, Malta, and Poland for not reporting plans to reduce and monitor greenhouse gas emissions.

The regulator requires annual reports on emissions, and cited Cyprus, Italy, Malta, and Spain for not submitting reports for 2004.

The Commission also warned Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and Spain for not submitting data needed to prepare Europe for an international emissions trading scheme.

The regulator said the countries must respond to its complaints and fulfill their obligations, or else face legal action and possible fines.

The whole "international emissions trading scheme" is so poorly thought out and ineffective that any thinking human should break out laughing. Trying to limit CO2 production while blindly ignoring Methane and Water Vapor (not to mention India and China) is a blind exercise in economic suicide. With what these dolts are planning to spend, we could buy everyone in India and China a decent cookstove and eliminate a good chunk of the earth's overall air pollution. The EU needs to wake up and start listening to all of the climate scientists, not just the ones spouting their "party line". Buncha maroons...
