Has Russia been taking tips from Bush?

I was listening to BBC radio this morning and they had a story about how Russia is now stonewalling the Kyoto accords. Even though they have had 6 years to think about signing it, Russian President Putin says that they need to do more research to see how this will affect his country.

The agreement can still, theoratically, be salvaged if Russia signs on, even of the Bush administration won't. But without Russia adhering to the accord, the it's pretty much dead because the countries agreeing to it don't produce as much pollution as industrial giants like the US and Russia do.

What more research does Putin need to do? Maybe he's waiting for a few more chunks ofice to fall into the Arctic or Southern Oceans.

[Before anyone asks,"...Southern Ocean?" It's the new name given to the southern portions of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Basically, it surrounds Antarctica. I found this out in the CIA World Factbook.]
