Financial Soultions: EU concerned that US is dawdling on climate change.

Sept. 20, 2009 - PRLog -- These were the sentiments of the EU ambassador to the US, in regard to any attempted delay by the Senate, to push action on the climate change bill into next year, Financial Soultions understands.

Such a move would suspend the development of an overall U.S. climate plan until after a U.N. climate meeting in Copenhagen in December, when 190 countries hope to draft a new treaty to fight greenhouse gas emissions. As it stands at present, the US chose not to sign the Kyoto Accord because among other reasons, it felt that such a proposal would unnecessarily cost American jobs.

"If this were to occur it would open the United States to the charge that it does not take its international commitments sincerely, and that these commitments will always take second place to domestic politics," John Bruton, the EU's ambassador to the United States, said in a press release available to Financial Soultions.

After China, the United States is the largest greenhouse gas emitter, Financial Soultions research has shown.

Many US politicians are questioning whether it is possible to vote on a climate change bill this year, with healthcare reform taking up so much time.
