'Kyoto' creates US/EU split

摘要

In the meantime the split between the EU and the USA continues to widen. At the recent annual meeting of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in Paris, the industrialised countries attempted to present a fa?ade of agreement, but even the traditionally bland final communiqué could not hide the differences of opinion. Certain West European governments, and the EU in which they represent a majority, deeply resent the flat rejection of the Kyoto Protocol by the new US administration and fanatically maintain that there is climate change due to CO_2 emissions'.
