...principle that urgent action is needed to drastically cut back on carbon gas emissions if we are to even begin to address the problem. That's why they negotiated the Kyoto Protocol on climate change two years ago, requiring that the industrialized nations over the next decade reduce their output of carbon gases to 5 percent below the 1990 level. The U.S. is slated for a 7 percent reduction, on the basis that it is the greatest culprit, producing some 25 percent of all greenhouse gases despite housing only 4 percent of the world's population...
...believe that what they're seeing is actually a giant fig leaf. Make-or-break talks in The Hague on the Kyoto climate change treaty appeared doomed for failure, Tuesday, after the European Union rejected a U.S. proposal to factor in its forests as a means of cutting its output of the carbon gases that create global warming...
...Harvard's air attack was limited by blustery conditions in Hanover, so the Crimson shifted gears and ran for a season-high 309 yards, including 79 yards apiece for Palazzo and Leiszler. The Crimson secondary also turned in a big game, limiting Dartmouth to its lowest passing and scoring output of the season...
...Yale defense that stole the show, limiting Columbia tailback Jonathan Reese to 86 yards, his lowest output of the season. With the running game nullified, the Bulldog secondary then took advantage, especially senior safety Ryan LoProto...

After all, the treaty requires that in the next decade, the industrialized nations cut their carbon gas outputs to a level 5 percent below the 1990 figures. And for a booming U.S. economy whose output levels continue to increase every year, that would mean an economically burdensome 20-30 percent reduction in coal-fired electricity, gasoline consumption and other burning of fossil fuel. Europe is far ahead...
