This challenge demands of all of us that we show decisive action because what is at stake here is the natural sources of our life, our children's future and that is why, ladies and gentlemen, this conference should call on all states to ratify the Kyoto protocol as quickly as possible so that it can enter into force by the end of this very year.\"\u003cbr/\u003e20.

But Kyoto only slows the present rate of damage,  to reverse it we need to reduce dramatically the level of pollution and let us at least start to set that direction. Mr President, none of this is easy. The short term clashes with the long term, there are painful decisions, vested interests and legitimate anxiety but the fact remains - the consequences on inaction on these issues are not unknown, they are calculable.

Bleary-eyed negotiators were upbeat early Monday after compromises were reached overnight in three key areas: climate change, trade and sanitation.\u003cbr/\u003eBut a European push for targets on
