In the AWG plenary yesterday, Japan threatened to “shrink its commitment” for the 2nd commitment period if Japan was forced to make a decision in 2008 regarding article 3.9. In the same breathe, Japan specified that there should be no gap between the commitment periods.Australia's use of hot air, through their easy target (an increase of 8% and the 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.
