Japan wants the base year for calculating Kyoto treaty greenhouse gas targets moved from 1990 to 2005. It cites its long-term financial slump of the 1990s and the fact that Eastern Europe was just starting to clean up after escaping the Soviet bloc as reasons for this.
The U.S. has no such excuse. Nonetheless, chief U.S. climate negotiator Harlan Watson called the Japanese proposal “an interesting idea.”
Of course you think it’s interesting. Another opportunity to deny and stall.
