Russia's Duma Ratifies Kyoto Pact
"MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's Duma ratified the Kyoto Protocol on Friday, clearing the way for the long-delayed climate change pact to come into force worldwide.
"The State Duma's ratification pushes the 126-nation U.N. accord - aimed at battling global warming - over the threshold of 55 percent of developed nations' greenhouse gas emissions needed to make it internationally binding, after a U.S. pullout in 2001."
