According to Sen. Kerry, Obama wants to cut U.S. emissions, now running 17 percent above 1990 levels, back to those levels by 2020. Bush had rejected the Kyoto Protocol and his laxer policies would have allowed emissions to keep rising until 2025.
Kerry said it was “absolutely essential” that China, which has overtaken the United States as the world’s top carbon dioxide emitter, gets more involved in combating global warming to win U.S. endorsement of any new treaty.
Among other nations, Mexico said it planned to set caps on greenhouse gas emissions next year for the first time.
