Carbon emission are still increasing year over year though, both governments have failed to reduce emissions. The only reduction that happened was due to the financial crisis in 2008 that saw everyone spending and consuming less goods.

Yeah, from the graph we can clearly conclude that recession is the most efficient way to reduce carbon emission. But how many of us are willing to stay in a recession forever, just to reduce carbon emission? :)

It’s also the current government that withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol that was signed by previous government though.

Just did a very quick research. About 87% of global emission is not covered by Kyoto Protocol. It has no effect on most major GHG contributor countries, such as China, India, USA, Russia, and Brazil. How could such protocol make sense?
