The new United Nations Secretary-General on Climate Change Climate Change Pfeiffer? De Boer (Yvo de Boer) last Friday that the U.S. states and the private sector has already started to address global warming, which is encouraging progress, but in the next few years, The United States on this issue will continue to lag behind European countries.

De Boer said the Bush administration no longer doubt the existence of climate change. Although the United States still refused to sign the most industrial countries have endorsed an international treaty, it had started to control climate change.

de Boer said: “The United States, more than the rest of the world later acknowledged climate change issues. but I think this kind of thing will not happen again.”

However, the United States to take measures to address global warming, the area does not include Washington, DC . De Boer spoke highly of late last month, California passed legislation on climate change. California’s greenhouse gas emissions has been established mandatory standards, other states will follow suit. De Boer said the U.S. 11 states had planned to join forces control its emissions. Even more pleasing is that a growing number of private sector starting to focus on climate change.

Although the United States to take this series of actions, but the lack of a national mandatory standards for greenhouse gases, the United States of greenhouse gas emissions can not catch up with the pace of Europe. De Boer said: “I do not think in the next four to five years in the United States and Europe on global warming simultaneously.” But he hoped that during this time, the United States could become a member of an international treaty to join the long-term response to climate changes in action.

global warming, U.S. President George W. Bush had expressed doubts about the scientific reports, and refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol. De Boer said that the current total of 35 countries sign the Kyoto Protocol, they are now has not yet reached the level of emissions the Kyoto Protocol requirements. He hoped that the dual means, namely, to reduce their emissions and the transfer of energy-saving technologies to developing countries, develop energy-saving projects, the final in 2012 to achieve the set goals.

de Boer said: “As soon as the signing of international treaties, you will attach importance to this matter. I do not think the signing of the Kyoto Protocol, these countries have to back down meaning. meet discharge requirements will not be easy, but fortunately, they also there are a few years time. “he said, climate change has begun, and can not be reversed. Sea level rise, melting glaciers, droughts, increased frequency of occurrence of the storm has become even more fierce.

de Boer, led by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, set up a working agenda for governments to collect the impact of human activities on climate information and a forum for consultations on the negotiations. The majority of UN member states will send representatives to participate in November in Nairobi, Kenya to convene an international conference to discuss the post-Kyoto era response. (Allen V.

联合国赞扬了气候变化的美国的反应

新的联合国秘书长气候变化气候变化法伊弗？德波尔（伊沃德布尔）上周五表示，美国各州和私营部门已开始解决全球变暖问题，这是令人鼓舞的进展，但在未来几年，美国在这个问题上会继续落后于欧洲国家。

德布尔说，布什政府不再怀疑气候变化的存在。虽然美国仍拒绝签署大多数工业国家已经通过了一项国际条约，它已开始控制气候变化。

德波尔说：“比世界其他地区，美国，后来承认气候变化问题。但我认为这种事情不会再发生。”

但是，美国采取措施，解决全球变暖问题，该地区并不包括华盛顿。德波尔高度上月末发言，加利福尼亚州通过关于气候变化的立法。加州的温室气体排放设立了强制性标准，其他国家仿效。德波尔说，美国11个州曾计划联手控制排放。更令人欣慰的是，私营部门越来越多的开始重视气候变化。

虽然美国采取这一系列的行动，但对温室气体的国家强制性标准的不足，温室气体排放的美国不能赶上欧洲的步伐。德波尔说：“我并不在未来4点56分在美国和欧洲的年对全球变暖想同时进行。”但他希望在此期间，美国可能成为国际条约的成员加入的长期应对气候变化的行动。

全球变暖，美国总统布什曾表示怀疑的科学报告，并拒绝签署京都议定书。德波尔说，目前共有35个国家签署京都议定书，他们现在还没有达到排放量的京都议定书的要求。他希望，双重手段，即，以减少废气排放和能源转让节能技术向发展中国家，发展节能项目，在2012年最终实现既定的目标。

德波尔说：早在即将签署的国际条约“，你会重视这件事。我不认为京都议定书的签署，这些国家不得不退缩的意思。达到排放要求并不容易，但幸运的是，他们也有几年的时间。“他说，气候变化已经开始，并不能逆转的。海平面上升，冰川融化，干旱，增加了风暴发生的频率已变得更加激烈。

德波尔，由联合国气候变化框架公约，因此，气候变化，建立了政府工作议程设置，收集对气候信息和就谈判协商的场所人类活动的影响。而联合国的大多数会员国将派代表参加11月在肯尼亚首都内罗毕召开一次国际会议，讨论后京都时代的回应。 （王淏）06.9.13
