Here's another way to throw money down the toilet...

As suspected, the Government of Canada is considering buying emissions credits from other countries, because we will never meet Kyoto targets on our own.
Even with federal tax incentives and other support for domestic heavy industry, Ottawa anticipates having to purchase so-called greenhouse-gas credits abroad five to seven years from now, Mr. Emerson told the House environment committee yesterday
So....we just pay countries like Russia money, and we can then claim to be in compliance. Doesn't this show how bankrupt Kyoto is?
