How Europe can save the world

Part 1:
The EU landmark deal on carbon controls must be the model for a new Kyoto agreement. The European Union has struck a deal which is the most vital since it was started 50 years ago which will help persuade Eurosceptic curmudgeons. The EU has made a commitment on dealing with the climate change and energy security. The 27 countries of the EU have devoted themselves to decrease their carbon dioxide emissions by 20% in 2020 from their 1990 levels. Also to increase the use of renewables like air, tidal power, biofuels and water and stop depending on the gas from Russia and the Middle Eastern petrol. The commitment was backed up with some detailed plans which are that after 2010 every power station will have carbon capture and storage technology. But there are problems with renewable power; it is expensive and it has a bad effect on the environment. It is obvious that climate change is a reality and it was made by human beings. On the other hand the UN will convene the key meeting in Indonesia to begin the discussion about what treaty will succeed Kyoto.
Part 2:
This article talks about the efforts of the EU to make their continent cleaner by lowering their carbon emissions and how they can grow their own fuel and how to stop using imported gas and petrol. It also talks about how we have caused harm to ourselves.
Part 3:
I think this article was good because it tells us the some countries are trying to defeat climate changing and other things like global warming. It also let us knows that the UN is trying to help the case by making agreements.
I disagree with the EU because they should raise their target to 30% or 40% because it might help a lot.
I want to learn more about the Kyoto agreement and how they can make it work. I also want to learn about the plan of the EU to struck the global warming.
