⎈ Enclosure: the sky
The Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012 and whose modest targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions won't be met. I expected a fair amount of U.S.-bashing, but most of the Euro-criticism was directed at Europe itself. A main focus of ire was the European Trading System, in which governments issue tradable carbon emission permits to polluting industries.
