The French government last month criticized the United States and Canada for being too slow, saying they needed to do more to tackle greenhouse gases. against climate change, it seems Europe is accepting the face that we cause this to happen. now we must to everything we can to stop global warming

Sweden has agree, the US must take action against climate change

ARE, Sweden (Reuters) – Sweden, which currently holds the European Union presidency, urged the United States on Thursday to move faster to tackle climate change ahead of a major environmental summit in Copenhagen later this year.

Andreas Carlgren, Environment Minister for Sweden, told journalists at a meeting of EU energy and environment ministers that he welcomed U.S. President Barack Obama’s efforts to fight global warming but called on the United States to do even more.

"We welcome that the ambitions have changed dramatically compared to the previous administration, but still we expect more and we need more," he told reporters at a mountainside meeting held in central Sweden.

Sweden took over the six-month presidency of the European Union earlier this month and is helping to pave the way for tough talks on a major climate deal in Copenhagen this December which would replace the Kyoto Protocol after it expires in 2012.

It warned that Canada and the United States were not on course to cut emissions by the level needed, making it difficult for rich nations to meet the 25-40 percent collective reduction in greenhouse gases recommended by a U.N. climate panel.

Carlgren said it was encouraging that a bill which seeks to reduce U.S. emissions 17 percent by 2020 and 83 percent by 2050 from 2005 levels had already been approved by the House of Representatives and was on its way to the Senate.

But European member states have already agreed to slash carbon emissions by at least 20 percent by 2020 from levels in 1990.

"We see within that bill the possibilities of raising the ambitions, and we are really urging our American friends to raise their bids and make sure that they can commit to more," he said

"The EU has so far put 20 percent on the table but we want that to go higher and we want to bring others with us," he said.

The United States, the world’s second-biggest emitter of greenhouse gases after China, signed but never ratified the Kyoto Protocol, a climate treaty to be renewed in global talks culminating at the Copenhagen conference.

Well considering that 80% of what scientists are saying about global warming has been debunked, I’m not to wooried. If you pay for a study, you can tailor the results however you want. Al Gore has to issue a disclaimer before lectruing about his book so that ought to tell you something about the "science" behind global warming. I agree we need to do what we can, but what about India, Pakistan, China, these places dont care! Do you think that we will have good air and ozone if we spend billions of dollars to cut our emissions? I hate to tell you, but air circulates.
