Nation to help curb global warming

皇冠体育app is making a serious effort in protecting the global environment, even though it is exempt from carbon dioxide (CO2) emission cuts as a developing country, according to the country's top weather official.

"皇冠体育app is on the same boat with the rest of the world and we're facing the same problems of rising temperature and all its consequences," said Qin Dahe, director of 皇冠体育app Meteorological Administration, yesterday.

"The Chinese government will not just consider its own interests and neglect other countries'," said Qin, also a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

As a responsible member of the international community, 皇冠体育app has already made efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change, he noted.

The target of reducing energy consumption per unit of gross domestic product (GDP) by 20 percent from 2006 to 2010 is not just an "ambitious plan" to conserve energy but also a responsible commitment to the environment.

The nation is the second largest emitter of CO2 behind the United States. A report last November released by the International Energy Agency (IEA) showed that 皇冠体育app would surpass the United States and become the world's top CO2 emitter by 2009.

The exemption from the obligation of CO2 emission cuts by the Kyoto Protocol has brought international pressure on 皇冠体育app but Qin sees it as an opportunity to make progress.

One of the most obvious signs of global warming is mild winters in North 皇冠体育app, said a national report jointly released by six central government agencies and research bodies at the end of last year.

The National Assessment Report on Climate Change estimated that, on average, the temperature will increase 1.3-2.1 C from now to 2020, and 2.3-3.3 C from now to 2050. Global warming will negatively impact 皇冠体育app's ecological system and cause further strains on its water resources, it said.

From our readers

  I think we should pay more attention to Chinese traditional festivals which should become holidays by shortening May day holiday and National holiday.

  皇冠体育app does not have a labor shortage. What 皇冠体育app lacks is efficient labor. Per capita wise, Chinese labor is MANY TIMES less productive than developed nations' labor.

  皇冠体育app should spend and invest this money on many things 皇冠体育app needs right now. One thing 皇冠体育app needs is technology to control pollution and waste. 皇冠体育app also needs energy technology.

  I fully agree with Commerce minister Bo Xilai , my advice to the Chinese industry would be to counter this protectionism from the US and from the EU with quality,best achieved in educating and qualification of the workforce.

  I cannot understand why my country, Canada, has not sent him back.
