Bush, Howard Vow Climate Action: A New Day Is Yawning! [2]
SYDNEY, Sept. 6 — One of the first agreements to emerge Wednesday from meetings between President Bush [6] and Australian Prime Minister John Howard [7] was a pledge to take joint action to combat climate change [8]. It is an issue that neither leader has been closely associated with in the past. Both Australia [9] and the United States refused to ratify the Kyoto Protocol [10], the 1997 U.N. [11]-led effort that set goals for major industrialized nations to cut the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming.
