Building the Post-Kyoto future: the new U.S.-Asian pact on global warming has more to do with transferring technology to China than with saving the planet from greenhouse gases.(GLOBAL WARMING)
On July 27, the Bush administration unveiled a new pact between the United States and several of the powerhouse nations of the Asian economy, including South Korea, China, Japan, India, and Australia. Representatives of the nations party to the pact were to hold their first official meeting in November, but that has now been pushed back to sometime after the beginning of the new year.
