Gore: Developed countries should do more to protect environment


BEIJING, Oct. 10 (Xinhuanet) -- Former US vice president Al Gore said here Monday developed countries should shoulder more responsibility in protecting the environment of the earth.

In his key-note speech made on Monday in China's prestigious Tsinghua University, Gore presented lots of pictures and diagrams to show the destruction brought by humankind to the world environment.

He called for students to make concerted efforts to protect the environment of the whole world.

When asked to comment on the United States' refusal on signing the Kyodo Protocol, Gore said the developed countries should bear more responsibility in protecting environment.

1. Perhaps if they TAXED THE SHIT out of the US owned multinationals

...that produce 9/10s of the pollution and other environmental damage, it would be a good start!

Go China, Go!!!

2. And they WILL . . .

Provided it doesn't cost any money, inconvenience anyone in any way possible or require that people alter their "lifesyles".

the man sure gets around, he does not let moss grow under his feet.
