U.S. Backed Into Corner at Bali

American climate negotiators refused to back down in their opposition to mandatory cuts in greenhouse gas emissions Thursday, even as a U.S. Senate panel endorsed sharp reductions in pollution blamed for global warming.

The United States, the world's largest producer of such gases, has resisted calls for strict limits on emissions at the U.N. climate conference, which is aimed at launching negotiations for an agreement to follow the Kyoto Protocol when it expires in 2012.

Well come the web site of Sri-Lankan Young greens action on UN Climate Talks in Bali, Indonesia. In this web site you can see many picture's of people who do not fall in to the category of urbanized social groups who oppose to western environmental policy and its unethical domination over other regions of the world, but to the category of rural people who interest very much less in Global politics. This is a clear indication that they too are getting interested, which is an extremely good phenomena and end is near for the unfriendly policies and their governors.

You too can show us that you are really against global warming and really care for our beautiful mother Earth by publishing your picture on this web site.
