Part 1 (summary)
The European Union put a new plan to reduce the amount of emissions. German Chancellor Angela Merkal and some European politicians met to make a deal on climate change and security of energy.

The 27 countries have acted to reduce the amount of emissions by 20% in 2020. Also, to increase the use of renewable energy like water, air, tidal power and biofuels.

The EU put a plan for reducing the amount of emissions. Power stations in the EU will have carbon capture and new technology for storage after 2010. In European Emissions Trading scheme they set new limits for carbon emissions.

European countries trying to change to renewable energies, but there are many problems. First, most types of renewable energy are expensive and sometimes they destroy the environment. Second, natural habitats will be disturbed by wind farms. Third, mass bioufuel farming will destroy agriculture and some places like the Amazon will lose rain forest. Some countries like India and China will use cheaper fossil fuels if the price of renewable energies stays the same.

David Miliband said that Britain will cut 60 % of carbon emissions by 2050.
The UN talked about the succerror to Kyoto in Indonesia and the UN hopesto get more success in future deals.

Part 2
The EU put a plan to face the global warming. They discussed the action plan and problems of renewable power. Some countries in the UN discuss the Kyoto argreement and they want to make a new deal.


Part 3
I know that the EU wants to lead the world in this problem. The United States doesn’t want to sign the Kyoto treaty because it will affect industries in the US. Renewable power has advantages and disadvantages.The advantages are renewable and clear of emissions. The disadvantages are high price and the effect on the environment. I think governments should work together to solve the effects of global warming.
