US Still Against 25 -40% Cut on Emission

Written by E Haryadi - Translated by Stephanie A. Surya

Al Gore’s speech last night, seemingly, did not affect US in rejecting all options. According to Climate Action Network (CAN) International, with Japan and Canada, US still rejecting the 25-40% cut on carbon emission in 2020.

Bill Hare from Greenpeace Friday (14/12) morning said that until this morning (14/12) US negotiating team still rejecting 25-40% cut on emission as written in Kyoto Protocol. “This (refusal) is also supported by Japan and Canada,” he said.

Australia, itself, already shifted their stance after getting pressures within the country. In addition, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd himself signed the Kyoto Protocol in the Opening of High Level Meeting of UNFCCC last 11 December.

Masako Kenishi from Japan World Wide Fund (WWF) also regrets US attempt in halting Bali Roadmap. “I also do not understand why Japan want to support US, who clearly the killer of Kyoto Protocol. In my opinion, this is a crime,” she stated.

Masako, herself, hoped that in the few hours before UNFCCC ends, Japan will take own stance and not following the US.

Meanwhile, in the other side, Toni Juniper from Friends of Earth showed his regrets because the “Climate Justice” appeared before the UNFCCC in Nusa Dua, almost lost all of its traces. According to him, there would not be any Climate Justice if developed countries in Annex 1 refused to cut 25-40% of their emission by 2020 in the 1990 emission level as written I Kyoto Protocol.
“US and Japan act destructively in the Bali meeting,” he stated.

US delegation team itself, this morning, supposed to give the last press conference before UNFCCC officially ends. However, in 09.30 WIT, that press conference was suddenly cancelled without any explanation.

Related to Canada’s support towards US on their emission cut refusal, CAN Canada is going to give their stance today (14/12) at 12.00 WIT in Auditorium, BICC, N
