The science is clear. Climate change is happening. The impact is real. The time to act is now,\" said U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.\u003cbr/\u003eBan and other leaders laid out the basic parameters of an agreement: that rich nations, as the prime drivers of global warming, should make the first cuts in emissions and help poorer countries develop in a clean way with\u003cbr/\u003etechnology and assistance. \u003cbr/\u003eSpeakers also called on quickly developing nations, such as China, to rein in high levels of pollution.\u003cbr/\u003eThe most poignant call for action came from island nations, which face possible extinction by rising seas fuelled by global warming.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Humanity must not allow our fragile island societies, with civilisations older than those of North America and South America to be drowned by the swelling seas,\" said Michael Somare, Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea.\u003cbr/\u003eMany also called for more robust participation by the United States, which became the only major industrialised nation to have rejected the Kyoto Protocol when Australia signed the pact last week after years of opposition.\u003cbr/\u003eDelegates applauded Australia several times on Wednesday after Prime Minister Kevin Rudd handed over ratification papers for the protocol to Ban. \u003cbr/\u003eRudd made a clear reference to the need to include the United States, long the leading emitter of greenhouse gases, to submit to mandatory cuts.\u003cbr/\u003e\"And we need all developed nations, all developed nations - those within the framework of the Kyoto Protocol, and those outside that framework - to embrace comparable efforts in order to bring about the global outcomes the people of the world now expect of us,\" Rudd said. \u003cbr/\u003eNegotiations were to intensify in the final days of the two-week conference.\u003cbr/\u003eA version of a revised conference document obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday included specific guidelines for industrialised countries to cut emissions, but it remained to be seen if the 25 percent and 40 percent\u003cbr/\u003efigures would make it into the final document, which was to be released on Friday.\u003cbr/\u003eThe draft statement also included the word \"commitments\" for the first time in addressing what rich nations should do to reduce greenhouse emissions. This language may also be opposed by the United States, which has\u003cbr/\u003esupported only voluntary gas-cut measures so far.\u003cbr/\u003eThe new document called for consideration of action by developing countries to control emissions. Such countries, led by high-polluter China, maintain that rich countries should take the first steps, while poorer nations put their emphasis on economic development.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Kyoto Protocol requires 36 industrialised to cut emissions by an average of 5 percent below 1990 levels between 2008 and 2012. \u003cbr/\u003eEven supporters concede, however, that these steps are not enough and a deeper cuts are needed soon to stop a destructive rise in world temperatures.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
