China: We are concerned, but the rich must their responsibilities

has just finished a press conference the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Chinese HE Yafi, who opened with a clear message: "We are actively involved and responsible for the results of the Conference on climate, but we must not forget the commitments of rich countries like the United States taken under the Kyoto Protocol. "to questions from reporters, the deputy minister has pointed out:" China will do its part in the negotiations. Our goal is to achieve a success. "Then, he stressed:" Neither the Kyoto Protocol nor the Bali Action Plan involving China. If it is true that our country has a high GDP, income per capita, given our large population, is on average 300 U.S. $. So it makes me smile the comparison between us and the United States, however, are the most developed country in the world and have a historical responsibility for emissions. The developing countries are not asking for aid or donations, but call what is rightfully and legally obligated to Western countries. These are not gifts, is a question of responsibility and obligations. Developing countries, including China, are victims of climate change and exploitation suffered for centuries. Before Kyoto 20% of the world's population emitting 80% of CO2. Between Kyoto and Bali, 90% of the pollution was due to developed countries. China only comes into play now. "Finally, responding to a reporter who asked the opinion of China to the news a few minutes ago the contribution of 7 billion euros promised EU Yafi said:" It 's good news and a good contribution, but without the participation of others will help little.

It is, therefore, the China-US Tiramolla. It seems that the only glimmer of hope for an agreement can be a binding commitment of the U.S. (driven by the recently rediscovered, opportunities to challenge the EPA, bypassing the opinion of the U.S. Senate, the Energy Act and Emission Bill, opening the possibility that Obama to join the Kyoto Protocol). At that point, China and the new ex-PSV in strong growth, could accept the agreements and at least one more stringent control of their emissions. Provided that the contributions for mitigation and adaptation are sufficient. History can not be denied. The responsibility for the salvation of the planet belongs to everyone. A reasonable compromise might be the only hope.
