U. S. Unveils Climate Change Pact

29 July 2005 - 10:00am

United States announces a partnership with Australia, China, India, Japan, and South Korea to address global warming with technology.

"President Bush's answer to global warming is technology. In a move to counter the Kyoto Protocol that requires mandatory cuts in so-called greenhouse gas emissions, he is making the technology pitch as part of a partnership with five Asian and Pacific nations, including China and India. The idea is to get them to commit to cleaner energy production as a way to curtail air pollution that most scientists believe is causing the Earth to warm up."
