White House: US Cuts Emissions Better than Europe
Planet Ark, Reuters News Service, Feb. 8, 2006
The White House said on Wednesday the United States had done better at reducing carbon emissions than Europe, where US President George W. Bush's stance on global warming has been sharply criticized. ...
Figures from the International Energy Agency indicated that from 2000 to 2004, US carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion grew by 1.7 percent, while in the European Union such emissions grew by 5 percent. ...
In response, US officials played down the country's contribution to climate change, although the United States is responsible for one-quarter of the world's carbon dioxide emissions and uses one-quarter of the world's crude oil.
