A plan by US President George W Bush for countries to set their own targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions has drawn considerable criticism.
Some delegates at a meeting of the world's top 16 polluters saw Mr Bush's comments as a US reluctance to commit to binding action on global warming.
Officials at the Washington forum said legally-set international targets were the only way to tackle climate change.
Mr Bush stressed that combating climate change should not damage the economy.
And he again hinted that the US would not commit itself to mandatory CO2 cuts.
What he's proposing is along the same lines as the laissez faire recommendations to public health in Victorian England (and they working so well *sarcasm alarm overload*). If the lower polluting countries can't even achieve the guidelines set out in the kyoto treaty, how long will it take for the liberal green environmental movement to see the cause of climate change as capitalisms ever growing need to waste in the name of profit.
