12.00.00am UTC (GMT +0000) Fri 16th Feb 2007
It will be hard for President Bush to veto legislation on limits for carbon emissions
|
Commenting on Global Legislators Organisation for a Balanced Environment's (Globe) new agreement on tackling climate change, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, Chris Huhne MP said:
"The Globe meeting is encouraging because it suggests that the US mid-term elections have given a majority in both houses of Congress for federal limits on carbon emissions. If this is the case, it will be hard for President Bush to veto legislation.
"The US can now join the European Union in pushing the world community towards an early replacement for the Kyoto Protocol, which runs out in 2012."
