The Skriker Actor Packet

"That must happen especially in the developed world, and especially in
the US, which produces 25% of global emissions.
"And if we start investing in the technology that's available, we could
do a lot within the timescale necessary, and without the effects we
fear."
Christian Aid says that ratifying and implementing the Kyoto Protocol
must be no more than a first step.
Equal pollution rights
It says future carbon reduction agreements "must begin with the
principle that everyone, be they in a rich or a poor country, has an
equal right to the atmosphere".
"This means that people in developed countries should not have any
more right to emit greenhouse gases than people in Ethiopia or India."
Its figure of a total cost of £6.5 trillion is based on a United Nations
estimate that natural disasters cost between 5% and 9% of developing
countries' gross domestic product.
There are those who will criticise the assumptions about climate
change on which the report is based.
Not all scientists will accept that the extreme weather conditions and
rapid warming recorded at the Earth's surface in recent years can be
ascribed to human greenhouse emissions.
They question the reliability of the modeling on which future
assessments are made. This modeling, they say, has difficulty
simulating many important climate processes and should be treated
with extreme caution.
Moreover, they say the cost of the damage to world economies, and
especially those in the emerging world, of restricting carbon emissions
could exceed the sums environmentalists say will result if the Kyoto
Protocol is not implemented.
