Officials linked to negotiations for an international agreement about climate are living in a moment of changes in the climate: Barack Obama's administration did a 180° turn on the American position about the topic when it included profits from a future carbon control system in its oficial budget. In fact, it means that the United States is heading into the Kyoto Protocol.

The protocol that never became a reality as it was not signed by the United States but is about to be replaced by another agreement that is in the process of being written. At a meeting in China as a preparatory reunion for the big meeting late this year in Copenhagen, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton released a new cooperative attitude from the U.S.

An agreement post-Kyoto won't be done this year but hope increases among environmentalists and those involved in the negotiations. The "New York Times" has published an article about the change in climate among folks interested in climate change.


Os negociadores envolvidos na negociação de um acordo internacional do Clima vivem um momento de total mudança climática: o governo Barack Obama fez um giro de 180º na posição americana em relação ao assunto quando incluiu no orçamento até as receitas que virão de um futuro sistema de controle de emissão de carbono. Isso na prática significa que os Estados Unidos estão na direção do Protocolo de Kioto.

O protocolo que nunca virou realidade por não ter sido ratificado pelos Estados Unidos está para ser substituído por outro acordo que começa a ser costurado. Na reunião preparatória da China para a grande reunião do fim do ano em Copenhagem, a secretária de Estado Hillary Clinton estreiou a nova atitude cooperativa dos Estados Unidos.

Não ser este ano que se fechará o acordo pós-Kioto, mas a esperança aumenta entre os negociadores e ambientalistas. O New York Times trouxe matéria sobre essa mudança no clima da turma da mudança climática.
