Its already missed at least one deadline, but the French Foreign minister has said he is hopeful for an agreement. This comes after years of tough negotiations. Nations first agreed to cut Greenhouse Gas emissions in 1997. Thats when the kyoto protocol was signed in japan. The u. S. Didnt support it and developing nations were exempt. They claimed they didnt contribute to global warming. By 2009 many thought a new agreement was needed. There was a vague pledge to limit global warming.

Its an organization that i deeply admire and only exceeded by my admiration for john hammer hammer john hamrick who i have worked for is one of his trustees but also the defense policy board so i appreciate your being our host, john.
