SUBJECT: Media Reaction Rio de Janeiro: Hot Weather (COP 15)
Hot Weather
Rio-based center-right daily O Globo writes: "...the planet is
hotter due to man's activities. (...) There will be consequences to
civilization if the current Climate Summit (COP-15) in Copenhagen
does not begin to find antidotes against [global warming] (...).
The less pollutant emissions, the better. The issue involves a
furious political and ideological battle (...) Credible
institutions are disclosing new evidence. The World Meteorological
Organization (WMO) announced that this decade will be the hottest
since they started to keep track 150 years ago. (...) On the other
hand, promising decisions are arising from countries, with the
weight of the U.S., that now considers the six main gases in
greenhouse emissions to be harmful to human health. The measure,
announced by President Barack Obama at the Summit's opening, paves
the way for the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to
regulate, already in 2010, emissions from vehicles, industry and
energy plants without depending on the [Climate Change] legislation
still stuck in Congress. The American decision gave a powerful
impulse to negotiations that appeared very difficult in Copenhagen.
It is not only about rich countries investing billions to cut their
emissions, but also granting generous financing so that poor
nations can do the same. There is no other way" (Dec 9, page 6).
