EU pushes binding climate deal
By Richard Black
BBC environment correspondent

The European Union says it will push for legally binding global
restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions.

A spokeswoman's comments came after the announcement of a voluntary
pact, based on new technology, between the US and five Asia-Pacific
states.

She also told BBC News that the new pact was unlikely to bring a
significant reduction in emissions.

The EU's intention to pursue further legally binding reductions could
lead to political disputes later this year.

1. It is like some people over there are thinking.
Years ago Germany was doing a lot on how to get rid of used stuff. Things were being made to be taken apart and things reused and all that.Sort of interesting.

2. wow, if only.
Hardly anything is designed to be disassembled anymore. At least, without special tools.
