2007-12-12 06:27:35 - Delegates U.N. on climate talks resisted U.S. pressure to delete tough 2020 guidelines for cutting greenhouse gases. European Commission saying they were a "crucial" element in a draft text.The U.N.-led talks have become dominated by disputes over whether a text should keep a mention of a need for rich nations to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 25 to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2020 to avoid the worst impacts.

States eager to put up an agenda to either to save their industries but the environmental tech research and planning needs to be worked out rather than fining or putting up the restriction but there must be compettive growth amongst developing and developed economy to bring environmental friendly inusdrty and its tech use to reduce pollution and set the prize
for the best country with incentives for the same must be an agenda at Bali instead of mud slinging

"It is time to make peace with the planet," said Al Gore in Oslo. "We must mobilise our civilisation with the urgency and resolve that has previously been seen only when nations mobilised for war."

Mr Gore added: "It should be absolutely clear that it is the two largest CO2 emitters China and the US and, most of all, my own country that will need to make the boldest moves. Both countries should stop using the other's behaviour as an excuse for stalemate and instead develop an agenda for mutual survival."

These remarks came as 190 countries met in Bali, Indonesia, to work on new international treaty on carbon emissions to replace Kyoto by 2012.Mr Gore Vice president to Bill Clinton with Rajendra Pachauri,shared Noble prize, head of the UN's panel on climate change.

Delegates U.N. on climate talks resisted U.S. pressure to delete tough 2020 guidelines for cutting greenhouse gases.

Any dilution of the non-binding range would rage developing nations, they demanding rich nations do more to cut their own greenhouse gas emissions.

Washington and Tokyo want the range to be diluted but it was still in the latest draft on Tuesday, delegates said.

"Of course it is crucial for the European Union, and not only for the European Union," EU Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said of the indicative 25 to 40 percent range.
"In order to gather an effective fight against climate change we need this range of reductions for developed countries by 2020," he told a news conference at the 190-nation meeting.

US is expected to win out, since Bali's decisions require consensus,and the final "Bali roadmap" is expected to be what has been long anticipated a vague, broad mandate for two years of negotiations on Kyoto's successor.

UN climate chief Yvo de Boer said that the range was only meant to guide subsequent negotiations, but that including it was not vital.

Australia, despite its sudden embrace of the Kyoto pact, has shied away from supporting the interim target range, saying it must await the conclusion of a study sometime next year.

Canada and Japan also oppose inclusion of the suggested figures.

Meanwhile, Indonesian President Bambang Susilo Yudhoyono said finance ministers meeting on the fringes of climate talks in Bali were not doing enough to find the money to fight global warming.

"Ministers of finance can and should play a much larger and more active role in responding to climate change, both domestically and internationally," he said.

Government ministries including energy, industry, forestry and agriculture also had to take part, he said.
