The Kyoto Protocol was adopted 11 December 1997; in it was framework that redefined how we viewed fossil fuels. The protocol was the brainchild of collaboration; specialists, environmentalists and scientists, with the objective of providing a realistic and applicable means of reducing carbon gas emissions, hopefully abating global warming and climate change. Sadly we have forgotten this brilliant and historic moment, the idea of sustainability becoming a stylistic choice and a faddist curiosity.

Design can change the world, whether it is technology or vernacular; but to end the threat of climate change, it may not be enough. We have to go back to the Kyoto Protocol, and remind the countries that their signatures are a commitment to the cause, spelling the difference between victory and defeat. And to those who have yet to sign the protocol, to realize that we are all in this together.

A signature is a promise.

I can't seem to find your entry, red. On what page is it found?

@Spiral Prince My apologies, it seems I have to wait for them to acknowledge my entry before any votes could be cast. I will update the link as soon as the acknowledgment is received.

instead of instigating a scramble for the development of renewable energy resources, i'm worried that the growing distrust for nuclear power (after what happened in japan) will set this back further.

@Sean I'd have to agree. Despite the fact that nuclear energy is the most efficient, high-return, renewable energy source; people (and governments) would rather wallow in fear and ignorance that see the potential.
