On the last day of two weeks of marathon climate talks in Lima, the battle continues to adopt common rules on commitments to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. US environmental activists protested yesterday against the proposed Keystone XL pipeline on which President Obama must decide. A project that could generate 110 million tons of additional CO2 per year.
"I'm here to call the US government to begin to act on its territory so that we can maintain the limit of temperature rise of 2 degrees on the scale of the Earth, so that we should fight with us to reject all infrastructure related to fossil fuels and that we invest in renewable energy, "said Elizabeth, a protester.
A message that may be heard by John Kerry, US Secretary of State here with Al Gore, the Nobel Peace convinced of the urgent need to combat global warming.
"I know that the debate on who should do what and how are difficult and complex. And if that was not so hard, it's been that we have found a solution. But the fact is that we simply have no time to sit and procrastinate. It's simple, it is the responsibility of each "Kerry said in particular during his energetic speech 30 minutes.
The chief US diplomat called for a fight against climate change agreement to be concluded next year in Paris, arguing that time was running out to avoid a "tragedy." It should therefore condemn the Keystone XL project on pain of disavowing.
