Federal Government Stance on Kyoto Draws Criticism from International Community

This year's Kyoto Protocol negotiation session, held in Nairobi, Kenya, revealed deep concern from the international community about Canada's abandonment of the Kyoto climate change treaty.

While the federal government says it is still part of the Kyoto process, Environment Minister Rona Ambrose has no plans to meet Canada's greenhouse gas reduction target.

This stance drew criticism from other nations in Nairobi, and resulted in the dubious honour of several "Fossil of the Day" awards for Canada.

These satirical awards from environmental groups presented in Nairobi were granted to the nations whose behaviour was judged least helpful in addressing climate change.
