"No nation that signed Kyoto is meeting their targets"

That's a lie.

The EU over-achieves first Kyoto targetThe 15 countries which were EU Member States when the Kyoto Protocol was agreed in 1997 (the 'EU-15') committed to reduce their collective emissions on average over the first commitment period (2008-2012) by 8% below base years levels (1990 in most cases). The 8% collective reduction commitment has been translated into national emission reduction or limitation targets (22 kB) for each of the EU-15 Member States under what is known as the "burden sharing" agreement. The 8% commitment has been achieved by a wide margin. On average for the period 2008-2012, annual emissions (without LULUCF and the use of Kyoto mechanism) were 11.8 % below base year levels.

Of the 13 countries which have joined the EU since the Kyoto Protocol was agreed, all except Cyprus and Malta have individual emission reduction commitments under the first period of the Protocol. These 11 countries will also deliver as expected.
