A warming world: countries have not lived up to their environmental promises

Article Abstract:

Only Switzerland, the UK, and Germany are on track to reduce their CO2 emissions by 2000, despite the international promises made at the 1992 Earth Summit. The coming Earth Summitt+5 (year) conference will produce little progress, as the US, Japan, and Australia oppose mandatory reductions.

How to clean up: protecting the ozone layer may prove easier than curbing global warming

Article Abstract:
