Doha: US failing to cut carbon emissions fast enough

The report said more needed to be done to improve energy efficiency in
buildings and new cars and to limit emissions from power stations.

“The USA’s expected emissions for 2020 are lower than expected previously due
to economic decline, low gas prices and implementation of some policies, but
the projected emission level by 2020 is still likely to be higher than what
is needed to achieve the pledge,” read the report.

In comparison China is likely to “achieve or overachieve” its target to cut
‘carbon intensity’ (emissions per unit of GDP) by 40 to 45 per cent by 2020
on 2005 levels.

The report said China would make most of its savings by increasing non-fossil
energy to 15 per cent in 2020, and increasing forest coverage by 40 million
hectares.

Even though China is meeting its target, analysts predict emissions will rise
until around 2030 – when the country’s urbanisation peaks, and its
population growth slows – and then begin to fall.

Ruth Davis of Greenpeace said US citizens will be disappointed that their
Government is not taking stronger action on the domestic or international
stage.

“Many US citizens rocked by a year of extreme weather, capped off by
superstorm Sandy, will find it unacceptable that their Government is not
taking stronger action on climate change.”

She warned that the international community will also be angry if the US block
efforts to move towards a legally binding global treaty that insists on
tightening up cuts in emissions further.

“The US needs to either get out of the way, or work towards an ambitious and
binding global agreement on climate change.”

At the last climate change meeting in Durban, South Africa, the UN agreed to
draw up a global treaty by 2015 that will commit the world to make cuts in
carbon from 2020.

In the meantime the EU and a handful of other countries will continue to cut
carbon under the Kyoto Protocol.
