NUSA DUA, Indonesia (AFP) — The United States is waiting in the wings to play a leading role in the fight against climate change, defeated 2004 presidential candidate Senator John Kerry said here Monday.
With President George W. Bush entering his last year in office, the Democrat who lost the race for the White House three years ago said a new American leader could make a difference in tackling global warming.
But Kerry, leading a delegation from the Democratic-led Senate to the UN talks on climate change on Bali, warned that any agreement succeeding the Kyoto Protocol would fail unless poorer nations were also committed to new targets.
"We wanted to bring to Bali the message that the United States is going to be at the table, the United States is going to lead, the United States is going to embrace significantly changed policies in order to deal with climate change," he said.
"Look, we're spending a trillion dollars on the war in Iraq. We ought to be able to find several hundred billion dollars to save the planet."
President Bush walked away from the Kyoto Protocol in March 2001 in one of his first acts after beating Al Gore, who later Monday was to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his advocacy on climate change.
