Canada and the Kyoto Protocol

Okay kiddo, let me explain what Canada and the Kyoto Protocol are.

Canada is the big country up north, above the United States. It's a bit colder there than it is where we live, but they have lots of natural resources like forests, oil, and gas.

The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement that lots of countries made to try and help stop the Earth from getting too warm. People were worried that things like air pollution and using too much oil was making the Earth warmer and it could cause problems like floods and natural disasters.

When Canada signed up for the Kyoto Protocol, they promised to lower the amount of gases that get released when people use things like cars and factories. They said they would do this by trying to use less energy and by using cleaner energy like wind and solar power.

But over time, Canada found it was really hard to keep their promise. They had a lot of big factories and cars that needed lots of gas to run. They also needed to use a lot of their natural resources like oil to keep their economy going.

So while Canada did sign up for the Kyoto Protocol and tried their best to cut down on harmful gases, they didn't meet their goal of reducing emissions. Some people were mad at Canada for not doing enough, while others understood that it was hard to make such big changes.

That's the basic idea, little one. Do you have any questions?
