AUSTRALIA WON'T RATIFY KYOTO

(ENS) - "It is not in Australia's interests to ratify the Kyoto Protocol." With those words, Australian Prime Minister John Howard said recently that his country will not sign the international treaty to limit global warming. Australia is the world's leading coal exporter and has proven oil and natural gas reserves that have nearly doubled in recent years. But Australia is predicted to suffer severe effects of global warming, and these are already becoming evident. A report by Climate Action Network Australia said recently that three of Australia's World Heritage Areas are showing signs of significant damage due to climate change - Kakadu National Park, the Wet Tropics of Queensland, and the Great Barrier Reef.
