U.S. raises hopes for climate change deal
12/12/08. Socialist Euro MPs attending the Poznan climate change talks in Poland today voiced optimism for progress following a meeting with the leader of the US Senate Delegation, John Kerry.
Said Socialist spokeswoman Riitta Myller after the meeting: “I am pleased to hear that USA is ready to live up to its responsibilities. The European Union is not alone any more in leading the fight against climate change.
“The role of the USA is crucial in the negotiations to find a global agreement.”
Ms Myller said Senator Kerry’s key message was that there are good chances of reaching a global climate agreement in Copenhagen next year.
She added that Mr Kerry told the European Parliament delegation the new US administration is committed to the global climate negotiations but said other nations have to act as well. He stressed that it is impossible to achieve the cuts that scientists say are needed without China, one of the world’s largest emitters of carbon dioxide, she said.
