8. Under the Kyoto Protocol Russia is required to 'limit' its emissions to 1990 levels over 2008-12. The collapse of Soviet industry in the early 1990s, however, means that Russia's emissions are not expected to reach 1990 levels until well after 2012. The difference is known as 'hot air'. The effectiveness of forests as carbon sinks, meanwhile, is strongly contested.
