For the miniscule dent we Canadians can make by limiting emissions, it is easily offset by what they are doing. Shouldn't people be spending their time lobbying against China instead of pushing Kyoto here?

I agree with this completely, but at the same time, we (meaning the Western democratic nations) must take the initiative and show a leadership position on this issue. We'd be a bunch of hypocrites if we lectured China about cutting back their greenhouse emissions if we weren't also doing the same.
So I guess what I'd really support is a two-pronged strategy: set a positive example for the rest of the world first and then try to get them to follow.
