Kyoto City doing nothing to reduce CO2 emmissions

Found a sarcastic blog that points out how the city of Kyoto is doing next-to-nothing to reduce emmissions of green house gasses. Unfortunately, as Al in Kyoto points out, as a result of a lack of leadership from Central Government and from Japan's local territorial authorities, Japan's emissions have continued to increase.

To date the Kyoto City and State Governments have failed to implement policies that would facilitate achieving any of the goals outlined in the Kyoto Protocol.

They have, so far, only served to provide a useful example of how unwilling political leadership can stand in the way of moving toward actual reduction in C02 emissions.
