Full story: Global Warning on Global Warming: U.S Must Help Out (25-Sep-07)
The U.S. Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice, said at the UN this month: “Put simply, the world needs a technological revolution. Existing energy technologies alone will not meet the global demand for energy while also reducing emissions to necessary levels.”
Hilary Benn, the UK's secretary of state for the environment, used the conference to declare: "Tackling climate change means all of us, including the largest economy in the world, the US, taking on binding emissions reduction targets. It is inconceivable that dangerous climate change can be avoided without this happening."
The UK is a member of the European Union which is actually reducing its overall greenhose gas emissions as part of its adherence to the Kyoto Protocol. The U.S. and China are the world’s two leading producers of greenhouse gases and neither is signatory to Kyoto. Both continue to annually produce more CO2.
