Emerging powers press rich world on CO2 cuts

(AFP)

INHOTIM, Brazil — Brazil, South Africa, India and China called Friday on industrialized nations to step up their commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at a key UN climate summit later this year.

"We demand that industrialized countries set more meaningful objectives toward CO2 reductions than what they have presented up to now," Brazilian Foreign Minister Antonio Patriota told a meeting in Inhotim, Brazil.

The bloc of four emerging market countries "has done a lot to combat climate change and presented ambitious objectives," Patriota said.

China's climate change minister Xie Zhenua called for greater cooperation from industrialized countries at the next UN climate conference scheduled to take place in Durban, South Africa from November 28 to December 9.

2. I know, right?

This is like a pack of wolves discussing cutbacks in lamb production.

We're still in the self destructive feedback loop...although with the Gulf leaking again and Fukashima looking like a possible China Syndrome, it's possible we're already dead and haven't realized it yet.
