The Reasons Of America Refusing Kyoto Protocol

The Global warming has gradually attracted the world's intense attention since the 20th century. Scientists knows what makes the global has become warmer. The most important reason leading the unbalance of carbon cycle is human activity. The global warming has made serious consequences to eco-environment, that is rising of sea-level, frequent occurrence of climatic disaster, and so on.In 1992, many countries gathered in Brazil Riode Janeiro to cooperate with each other, discussing and trying to solve the problem of global warming. On the basis of The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (Unfccc), the contracting parties have had rounds of international negotiations on the principles of reducing the greenhouse gas emission since 1985.In 1997, each country worked out respective aims of reducing emission and Kyoto Protocol was instituted against discussion, which resulted in its rough fate during the following discussions and negociations. Through great effort, Kyoto Protocol took into effect in 2005. However, due to the withdrawal of the United States, the value and effect of the protocol has greatly reduced.Formulated on the foundation of all national benefits in the world, Kyoto Protocol, the important law for the global environment cooperation, covers the scope of greenhouse gas, the targets of reducing emission of each country, three Kyoto mechanisms, the conditions of taking effect etc..The negotiation of Kyoto Protocol is not only the process of the global environment cooperation, but also the process that all countries struggled for national interest in economy, politics, safety etc.. Kyoto Protocol is not only an environmental agreement but also an economy trade agreement. The establishment of the rules reflected the essence of all countries to pursue maximum benefits.The United States, the biggest country which has the exhaust ot the glasshouse air in the world, has got a good head in aggregative aspects and has been a political and economic giant seeking for the leadership of the international society, but why did he withdraw from Kyoto Protocol? This was inseparable from the contents of Kyoto Protocol and the national interest of the United States. The United States raised 3 causes at withdrawal, and emphasized these three reasons why he withdrawed for many times during the following international bilateral or multilateral talks.Analyzing the foundation of diplomacy is useful and necessary for a country to make thorough investigation of the background of the policy, the development process and the behavior motivation. On the careful research of diplomatic behavior of American constant rejecting Kyoto Protocol from beginning to end, it can be discovered that this decision had close contact with the neoconservatism and new economic highest principle of the United States, national interest principle and the purpose of withdrawal, which was the real factor for the United States to come to a decision on Kyoto Protocol from 2001 up to now.
