“Fossil of the Day” Award
Japan, a first time recipient of the fossil awards this year, clinched the top spot yesterday for its statements in the Ad Hoc Working Group plenary. It threatened to “shrink its commitment” for the second commitment period if forced to make a decision in 2008 regarding article 3.9.

Leading front-runner in this years awards so far, Australia, came in second place. Australia’s use of hot air through their easy target, an increase of eight per cent and reductions in land clearing that have already taken place, will mean they can still build a number of coal-fired power stations and meet their Kyoto target. Australia’s intervention at the AWG plenary that they would meet their Kyoto targets – even though they abandoned them – was just more of the same hot air.
