WESTERN HEMISPHERE: United States refuses to set CO2 cut target
http://bajaenergys.blogspot.com/2007/12/western-hemisphere-u...
The United States has refused to set a specific target for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions at a UN climate conference in Bali. The US says it will host a separate dialogue of the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters in 2008, at which clear numbers could be discussed. The European Union and other countries want the Bali conference to set a goal for industrialized countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 25 to 40 percent by 2020. But the United States says it will not change its position and instead stresses the importance of developing countries, previously exempt from the Kyoto Protocol, to start cutting their CO2 omissions. These countries say they fear such cuts would curb their economic growth. As the biggest greenhouse gas emitter in the world the US has long baulked at agreeing to binding cuts, refusing to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. The differing responsibilities of developed and developing countries are one of the top issues in Bali, with emissions from emerging economies still growing and developing countries arguing that the US and other industrial nations are not living up to their own commitments.

EU - USA: EU To U.S., follow The Leader On Carbon Cuts
http://bajaenergys.blogspot.com/2007/03/eu-usa-eu-to-us-foll...
European leaders like Jose Manuel Barroso don’t normally call on the U.S. to follow their lead on policy — they’re usually too busy ogling America's enviously high growth rates and lavish R&D investment. But after last week’s announcement that the EU will aim to slash 20% of its carbon emissions by 2020, the president of the European Commission feels he now has license to offer advice.
