"A world plan to fight global warming has come into force, feted by its backers as a lifeline for the planet amid sniping at the United States for pulling out.

he United States, the world's biggest polluter, pulled out in 2001. President George W. Bush said Kyoto was too costly, based on unreliable science and unfairly excluded big developing nations...

Australia, the only big developed nation on the sidelines with the United States, said it had no plan to sign up."
