Climate pact causes storm
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The United States, China and four Asia-Pacific nations have announced a partnership to cut greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, but environmental groups dismissed the plan as unworkable.
The agreement on climate change struck on Thursday by the US and several Asian countries was given a cautious welcome by other governments.
The Asia Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate, announced in Vientiane on Thursday, calls on the US, China, India, South Korea, Japan and Australia to co-operate on technologies to combat climate change.
However, the deal mirrors a number of agreements already in place between these countries and the US, and sets no firm targets on greenhouse gas emissions, in contrast to the Kyoto protocol on climate change supported by the European Union and Japan.
