Puppy love between Kyoto and economic crisis

Thanks to the persisting recession, the world carbon dioxide emission, which accounts for about 63% of greenhouse gas emissions, could decline by 3% this year. A recent study of the International Energy Agency (IEA) revealed the surprising, pro-Kyoto news. According to Fatih Birol, an expert in economics of this organization, it would be the largest downfall in 40 years. An average year in normal economic conditions counts for a 3% increase instead of the predicted decrease. Apparently the economic crisis might have positive consequences after all!
