Chorus Chiding U.S. at Climate Talks</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>New York Times (Registration required) -
December 14, 2007 - NUSA DUA, Indonesia — Amid growing frustration with the
United States over deadlocked negotiations at a United Nations conference on
global warming, the European Union threatened Thursday to boycott separate
talks proposed by the Bush administration in Hawaii next month.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Humberto Rosa, the chief delegate
from Portugal, which holds the rotating presidency of the European Union, said
the discussions next month would be meaningless if there were no deal at the
conference here this week on the resort island of Bali.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Germany’s environment minister,
Sigmar Gabriel, told reporters, “No result in Bali means no Major Economies
Meeting.” He was referring to the formal name of the proposed
American-sponsored talks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The goal of the Bali meeting,
which is being attended by delegates from 190 countries and which is scheduled
to end Friday, is to reach agreement on a plan for a future deal to reduce
greenhouse gases.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The escalating bitterness between
the European Union and the United States came as former Vice President Al Gore
told delegates in a speech that “My own country, the United States, is
principally responsible for obstructing progress here in Bali.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Mr. Gore arrived at the
conference from Norway, where he, along with the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change, received the Nobel Peace Prize for helping to alert the world
to the danger of global warming. He urged delegates to agree to an open-ended
deal that could be enhanced after the Bush administration leaves office and the
United States policy changes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>“Over the next two years the
United States is going to be somewhere it is not now,” Mr. Gore said to loud
applause. “You must anticipate that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>There appears to be broad
consensus among the delegates that a new agreement on climate change should be
ready by 2009, in time to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, the current
agreement that limits emissions by all wealthy countries except the United
States, which signed the Kyoto agreement but has refused to adopt it. Gaping
differences remain between countries over how to share the burden of switching
from types of energy that contribute to global warming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The United States and the
European Union remain at odds on many major points, including whether an
agreement signed here should include numerical targets, a move that the United
States and a few other countries, including Russia, oppose.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The emerging economic powers,
most notably China and India, also refuse to accept limits on their emissions,
despite projections that they will soon become the dominant sources of the
gases.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>“I’m very concerned about the
pace of things,” Yvo de Boer, the executive secretary of the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change, which is playing host to the meeting,
said Thursday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The United Nations released fresh
data on Thursday confirming what it called the planet’s continued and alarming
warming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The 10 years ending in 2007 were
the warmest on record, said Michel Jarraud, the secretary general of the World
Meteorological Organization, a United Nations agency, citing data taken since
the late 1800s from a global network of weather stations, ships and buoys.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>“It’s very likely the warmest
period for at least the last 1,000 or 1,300 years,” he told reporters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The data did not surprise
scientists — every recent decade has been warmer than the previous one — but in
releasing the numbers here the agency hoped to spur the 190 deadlocked
governments into reaching a deal that would set a deadline for a global climate
change agreement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Disagreements exist across a wide
range of issues and between numerous blocs of countries but the United States
has come under especially strong criticism here by countries rich and poor and
by its own domestic critics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>“The best we hoped for was that
the U.S. would not hobble the rest of the world from moving forward,” said
Kevin Knobloch, president of the Union of Concerned Scientists, a nonprofit
American organization. “Our delegation here from the States has not been able
to meet that low level of expectation.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Paula Dobriansky, the head of the
American delegation, said Thursday that she was committed to obtaining an
“environmentally effective and economically sustainable” agreement by 2009. “We
are working very hard to achieve consensus,” she told reporters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Delegates here have seen two faces
of America: the cautious negotiators, who have sought to water down the more
ambitious goals of the European Union; and the more activist voices, from
people like Mr. Gore and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York, who gave a
speech on the sidelines of the conference.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In an interview on Thursday, Mr.
Bloomberg criticized both the Bush administration and Congress for not being
aggressive enough in addressing global warming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>“There’s a belief that the United
States should not do anything until all the other governments are willing to go
along and do it at the same time,” Mr. Bloomberg said. “We should be doing this
regardless of whether the world is following or not.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The World Meteorological
Organization said Thursday that the world’s average surface temperature had
risen by 0.74 degrees Celsius, or 1.33 degrees Fahrenheit, since the start of
the 20th century. To the general public that may seem a modest rise, but
scientists consider it alarming in the context of historical shifts in
temperature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The difference between
temperatures today and an ice age is only 5 or 6 degrees Celsius (9 or 10.8
Fahrenheit), according to Mr. Jarraud of the World Meteorological Organization.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Several weeks ago, the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the United Nation’s leading
scientific body on the topic, released its gloomy assessment of warming that is
being cited by European delegates here as a clarion call. Climate change was
“unequivocal,” the report concluded.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>“Average Northern Hemisphere
temperatures during the second half of the 20th century were very likely higher
than during any other 50-year period in the last 500 years and likely the
highest in at least the past 1,300 years,” the report said. Greenhouse gases
were very likely the dominant force driving up temperatures now, it said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The panel, made up of hundreds of
scientists, releases its assessment of the data and science on climate change
every five years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

after a 16-month investigation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Republicans called the report,

against the Bush administration.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The report relies on hundreds of
internal communications and documents as well as testimony at two congressional

edited to emphasize the uncertainties surrounding global warming, according to
Waxman.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Many of the allegations of

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It said the White House over the
years has sought to control public access to government climate scientists,

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The White House called the

in global warming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>_ Media requests for interviews
