his religious expectations. Al Gore is a divinity school dropout. George
Carlin had a better grasp of the true nature of God's creation, than does Al

US submits climate treaty plan to UN

AP

Wednesday, May 06, 2009

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The United States said yesterday it would be committed
to joining the world on a climate treaty with "robust targets and ambitious
actions" against heat-trapping greenhouse gases.

But the formal US submission to the United Nations yesterday offered no
specifics for achieving a strategy for reducing emissions, which will be the
topic of treaty talks in December in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The 21-page document represents President Barack Obama's first salvo in the
negotiating process.

It says the US is committed to reaching a new, international agreement
"based on both the robust targets and ambitious actions that will be
embodied in US domestic law and on the premise that the agreement will
reflect the important national actions of all countries with significant
emissions profiles".

The new global warming pact is being crafted to succeed the first phase of
the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which requires 37 industrialised nations to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions an average of five per cent below 1990 levels by
2012.

The United States is the only industrialised nation that did not ratify the
Kyoto Protocol, but it agreed with more than 180 other nations at a
conference in Bali in December to negotiate a new agreement by the end of
2009.

The US "will be submitting additional proposals as the negotiations
progress," the Obama administration told the UN.

Obama campaigned on a pledge to reduce US emissions to 1990 levels by 2020,
a dramatic turnabout from the administration of President George W Bush, who
rejected Kyoto on grounds that it would cause too much harm to the US
economy and was unfair because it didn't require similar cutbacks by
developing nations.

Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, said yesterday he was satisfied with
the US submission, despite its lack of specific goals or timetable for
cutting carbon dioxide and other climate-warming gases.

"I know that there is... some more to do by the United States government,
but this is a good step and I would encourage further that the United States
take more concrete, more bolder initiatives," he said in answer to a
reporter's question.

"We are encouraged," the UN chief added.
