Britain says small island state temperature control targets unrealistic

Huangshan from Copenhagen This Monday (December 14), is the Copenhagen weather summit in the second week, but also the most crucial week of the first negotiation day. With the arrival of Ministers, the center of the Beira center of the security check clearly on a grade.　　The queue outside the venue has been stretched for hundreds of metres.　　As the first press conference in the morning, the British delegation's Topai apparently matched the "early step" in coping with the weather. Referring to China's deputy foreign minister, Yafei, who previously claimed that China was resolute in opposing the "three Miliband", the British environment minister, Miliband, said that China had made a lot of progress in promoting the agreement, but that the Conference still had to address two main topics,　　The first is to ensure that countries are committed to emissions reduction and funding, and the second is how to monitor their commitments.　　The so-called "three" means that the developed countries, especially the United States, want China and other poor countries to agree to make their commitments internationally binding and "measurable, verifiable and verifiable" so that they can be sure that the necessary mitigation measures will be implemented. Previously, small island States, including Tuvalu, called for a global warming temperature of 1.5 degrees Celsius, rather than 2 degrees Celsius, which was universally resonant.　　On the proposal, Mr Miliband said he understood the urgency of the climate change crisis facing island countries, but pointed out that even if the targets were to be met ahead of schedule, the carbon dioxide buildup would now be enough to raise global temperatures by 1.4 degrees Celsius.　　The implication is that the radical advice of island States is unrealistic. In addition, on the current status of the "two-track" negotiating text for the current Conference process, Miliband first expressed his recognition of the desire of developing countries to renew the Kyoto Protocol, but sympathetic that the Kyoto Protocol could only achieve some of the targets in controlling global warming.　　We still need action to reduce emissions, including major developing countries. In response to previous Chinese statements that "we do not expect funds from the United States, the United Kingdom (and other countries) to flow to China", Miliband merely reiterated the EU's commitment to short-term funding (that is, providing 3.5 billion of dollars in weather aid to developing countries over the next three years), and exaggerated　　Reaching the medium-and long-term weather financing target by 2020 "is still a very difficult long road, but the ultimate clear amount is very, very important". According to the requirements of developing countries, in the short term financing, by 2020, the developed countries should provide 100 billion of billions of dollars to developing countries each year.
