A two-day meeting was held at Cecilienhof chateau with environment ministers from 13 countries responsible for most of the world's greenhouse gas pollution.The intention of the meeting is to seek a way forward in the global warming crisis.Together,these 8 countries and developing countries(Brazil,China,India,Mexico and South Africa) account for more than two-third of world's carbon emissions.Earth surface temperature has been increasing for the past few decades due to release of carbon gasers from burning fossil fuels
These dangerous emissions can be reduced by Kyoto Protocol whcihc treaty runs out in 2012 and reduction will only apply to industrialising countries and not large developing ones However,United States which accounts for 1/4 of the world's pollution has refused to sign this treaty your comments?
