Hillary Clinton: US willing to provide 100 billion dollars a year for weather aid

Beijing time December 17 Evening News, according to foreign media reports, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that the United States has been prepared, like other rich countries, 2020 years ago to the poor countries to provide 100 billion dollars in weather aid funds.　　This could be an incentive for the stalled Copenhagen weather talks. Andreas Karglin, Sweden's environment minister, said today that the climate talks were "very serious" and that "the time was very tight and we had to make every effort to reach the Copenhagen Agreement."　　Mrs Clinton said the bailout money would depend on whether global leaders reached a broad climate deal in Copenhagen.　　Mrs Clinton said the weather agreement must cover all major economies and must include far-reaching initiatives to cut greenhouse gases and a system to ensure transparency in all relevant areas. "100 billion dollars is not a small number and can bring tangible results," she said. "(Mingxia)
