Pledges made to next month"s Copenhagen summit on climate change are not enough to stop global warming, dpa cited EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso as saying today. "So far we are not there," Barroso said after a meeting with Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao ahead of an EU-China summit in the eastern city of Nanjing on Monday. The Portuguese diplomat welcomed the latest commitments by China, the United States and other countries to reduce the output of greenhouse gases - a major factor in global warming. "If we sum up all commitments we are not where we should be," he said, in reference to demands by scientists to limit the increase in global warming to under 2 degrees Celsius. He said no one should lose sight of how important this goal is in ensuring the future of the planet. "In Copenhagen we should adopt an ambitious and operational agreement enabling the signing of a treaty as soon as possible," Barroso said. He said the pledges made by the rich industrial countries must be taken into account as well as the appropriate measures of developing countries and the financial assistance offered to them to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and cope with the results of global warming. World leaders are meeting in the Danish capital of Copenhagen from December 7-18 to prepare a successor to the Kyoto protocol to limit greenhouse gases, which expires in 2012.
