Climate Change Accord

More than 1,000 diplomats from 166 countries are meeting in Bonn on a new accord to control greenhouse gases.

The expectation is that the United States, India and China will all participate in this accord, unlike the Kyoto accord.

German delegate Nicole Wilke, speaking for the European Union, told the conference's opening session that global carbon emissions should peak within 10 to 15 years, and afterward should move toward a 50 percent decrease.
