Clinton sets a careful course on climate...
Article Abstract:
President Bill Clinton is unlikely to promise specific action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the US at a special United Nations General Assembly meeting in June 1997 commemorating the Rio Earth Summit. Despite pressure from other industrial nations to announce his intentions, the president is likely to wait until the United Nations climate change conference in Kyoto, Japan in December 1997, for fear of domestic criticism.

Clinton struggles to appease all sides over climate proposals
Article Abstract:
President Bill Clinton's proposals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 rates by 2008 has attracted criticism from top European officials and prominent senators. Other proposals include an early action plan, involving incentives to reduce greenhouse gases, depending mainly on voluntary action. Some believe that polluters will choose to do nothing, and lobby against the implementation of the trading scheme.
