hello all,
good news for the environment.
shame the us can't chose not to be included!
"the deal leaves the u.s. -- the planet's biggest polluter -- as the
only world
power not to accept the kyoto accord. president george w. bush
rejected kyoto in march, saying it would harm the u.s. economy. "
lets hope paying the proposed penalties for violations won't harm the us
economy!

love and light
christian
ps. did everyone hear about the murder of a protester at g8 in genoa?

bonn, germany -- a compromise deal to press forward with the kyoto pact to cut greenhouse gases has been agreed.
</p>
the deal was struck after a week of meetings and more than 24 hours of continuous negotiations through into monday morning in bonn, germany, a united nations spokesman said.
</p>
during the last-ditch effort, delegates struggled with the issue of compliance -- or how to enforce an international treaty covering nearly 180 nations on greenhouse gases and how to impose penalties for violations.
</p>
the 1997 treaty aims to reduce global carbon dioxide emissions by 5.2 percent of 1990 levels by 2012.
</p>
"we have finalised the rescue operation. we have rescued the kyoto protocol. it is a major achievement because we live with this for many years to come," eu environment commissioner margot wallstrom told reuters.
</p>
the deal leaves the u.s. -- the planet's biggest polluter -- as the only world power not to accept the kyoto accord. president george w. bush rejected kyoto in march, saying it would harm the u.s. economy.

"almost every single country stayed in the protocol," said olivier deleuze, the chief european union negotiator.
</p>
"there was one that said the kyoto protocol was flawed. do you see the kyoto protocol flawed?"
</p>
the u.s. delegation, which participated in the talks, declined to comment on the deal.
</p>
an activist from environmental group greenpeace, bill hare, told reuters news agency: "it shows that george bush is totally isolated in the climate debate."
</p>
"it is the long-awaited second step in the implementation of the kyoto protocol. we are calling on japan to ratify it now," he added.
</p>
envoys admitted the deal fell short of tight rules they initially sought, the associated press news agency reported.
</p>
"i prefer an imperfect agreement that is living to an imperfect agreement that doesn't exist," deleuze said.
</p>
hundreds of delegates waiting in the convention hall lobby hugged each other when the news came that the agreement was clinched.
</p>
the deal clears the way for nations to continue the process of ratifying the protocol, which delegates hope to achieve in 2002.
</p>
the treaty must be ratified by 55 nations responsible for 55 percent of global green gas emissions to take force. some 30 nations have ratified the pact to date.
</p>
the european union has been a major driving force in trying to get the kyoto accord ratified and onto the statute books of parliaments across the globe.
</p>
but it was japan that became the key player, with the power to make or break the treaty.
</p>
"it's a brilliant day for the environment. it's a huge leap to have achieved a result on this very complex international negotiation," british environment minister michael meacher told reuters news agency.
</p>
conference chairman jan pronk had urged the environment ministers to continue talks when they reached a deadlock after a week of meetings.
</p>
"this is a good text. it is a balanced text," pronk said of his compromise proposal.
</p>
"it is my conviction that it is possible to reach a full agreement."
</p>
climate talks had already failed once when a conference last november in the hague, netherlands, collapsed in a last-minute dispute between the u.s. and the europeans.

hello all,
good news for the environment.
shame the us can't chose not to be included!
"the deal leaves the u.s. -- the planet's biggest polluter -- as the
only world
power not to accept the kyoto accord. president george w. bush
rejected kyoto in march, saying it would harm the u.s. economy. "
lets hope paying the proposed penalties for violations won't harm the us
economy!

love and light
christian
ps. did everyone hear about the murder of a protester at g8 in genoa?

bonn, germany -- a compromise deal to press forward with the kyoto pact to cut greenhouse gases has been agreed.
</p>
the deal was struck after a week of meetings and more than 24 hours of continuous negotiations through into monday morning in bonn, germany, a united nations spokesman said.
</p>
during the last-ditch effort, delegates struggled with the issue of compliance -- or how to enforce an international treaty covering nearly 180 nations on greenhouse gases and how to impose penalties for violations.
</p>
the 1997 treaty aims to reduce global carbon dioxide emissions by 5.2 percent of 1990 levels by 2012.
</p>
"we have finalised the rescue operation. we have rescued the kyoto protocol. it is a major achievement because we live with this for many years to come," eu environment commissioner margot wallstrom told reuters.
</p>
the deal leaves the u.s. -- the planet's biggest polluter -- as the only world power not to accept the kyoto accord. president george w. bush rejected kyoto in march, saying it would harm the u.s. economy.

"almost every single country stayed in the protocol," said olivier deleuze, the chief european union negotiator.
</p>
"there was one that said the kyoto protocol was flawed. do you see the kyoto protocol flawed?"
</p>
the u.s. delegation, which participated in the talks, declined to comment on the deal.
</p>
an activist from environmental group greenpeace, bill hare, told reuters news agency: "it shows that george bush is totally isolated in the climate debate."
</p>
"it is the long-awaited second step in the implementation of the kyoto protocol. we are calling on japan to ratify it now," he added.
</p>
envoys admitted the deal fell short of tight rules they initially sought, the associated press news agency reported.
</p>
"i prefer an imperfect agreement that is living to an imperfect agreement that doesn't exist," deleuze said.
</p>
hundreds of delegates waiting in the convention hall lobby hugged each other when the news came that the agreement was clinched.
</p>
the deal clears the way for nations to continue the process of ratifying the protocol, which delegates hope to achieve in 2002.
</p>
the treaty must be ratified by 55 nations responsible for 55 percent of global green gas emissions to take force. some 30 nations have ratified the pact to date.
</p>
the european union has been a major driving force in trying to get the kyoto accord ratified and onto the statute books of parliaments across the globe.
</p>
but it was japan that became the key player, with the power to make or break the treaty.
</p>
"it's a brilliant day for the environment. it's a huge leap to have achieved a result on this very complex international negotiation," british environment minister michael meacher told reuters news agency.
</p>
conference chairman jan pronk had urged the environment ministers to continue talks when they reached a deadlock after a week of meetings.
</p>
"this is a good text. it is a balanced text," pronk said of his compromise proposal.
</p>
"it is my conviction that it is possible to reach a full agreement."
</p>
climate talks had already failed once when a conference last november in the hague, netherlands, collapsed in a last-minute dispute between the u.s. and the europeans.
