Where's the Kyoto party?

Ok, everybody. . .the Kyoto Protocol went into effect on the 15th. Why didn't anybody throw a party? Thousands of people worked for more than a decade to make this happen, and it's a big achievement even though the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter is not on board. (Don't worry, in a few years China will pass up the U.S. and then we'll be able to say that the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter is on board. Heh.)
