If you really want to see a visual of who "don't give a hoot" then this map shows global participation for the Kyoto Protocol in 2005, I see both India and China on there. We are the only one's (other than countires so undeveloped that they don't have a carbon footprint) that declined the protocol. The yellow is signed and ratification pending: (sorry for the huge pic)
