| Key point of the article: Prime Minister John Howard argues that Australia will meet the targets for greenhouse gas emissions set at Kyoto, but will not ratify the pact because he believes it would push industry and jobs offshore to countries which do not back the agreement. "The government will not sign the Kyoto protocol. Australia is already reducing greenhouse gas emissions," a spokesman for Howard told Reuters on Friday. |
