United States representatives at an international conference on global warming were on Thursday (23/10) trying to counter widespread criticism of proposals made on Wednesday by President Clinton. Clinton's plan is to bind cuts in emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases to 1990 levels between 2008 and 2012 - and then to reduce emissions further in the following five years. The European Union wants emissions cut by 15 percent below 1990 levels by 2010.

SOT David Sandalow, director for the environmental affairs in the white house (US Presidental advisor on environmental issues): "President Clinton yesterday proposed an ambitious, and realistic plan to meet the challenge of global warming, he sees this as an unprecedented challenge and an unprecedented opportunity to save money to promote clean, cheap and technologies and to chart a different energy future in the United States and around the world";
SOT Sandalow: "President Clinton announced the importance of the participation of both the industrialsed nations and developing countries as we go forward, his view here grows from the basic environmental imperative, this is a global problem and it requires a global solution, as has been said frequently, we cannot solve this problem if only industrialised nations play their part";
