| Description | The world's worst greenhouse gas-emitting countries could start working on how to do better next month in Honolulu. President Bush has asked 17 industrialized nations to gather Jan. 30-31 for a climate change meeting here. But some observers fear that European nations could boycott the meeting over disappointment with last week's climate meeting in Bali. According to the U.S. State Department Web site, participants at the September meeting in Washington included three to five participants from the U.S., China, Portugal, Russian, Japan, India, Germany, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Korea, France, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, Indonesia and Brazil, plus representatives from the European Commission and United Nations.
The Bali agreement is to be used as a guide for negotiations over the next two years, as the world's nations decide what policy on global warming will replace the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto agreement, which has not been signed by the U.S., required industrial nations to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 5 percent below 1990 levels by 2012. |
