2:40 Kerry The 95-0 vote against the Kyoto treaty was not meant as a
rejection of action on climate change.
2:45 Lugar It is critical that the international dialogue on climate
change move beyond the disputes of the Kyoto protocols.
2:48 Dobriansky Climate change is a serious problem and humans are
contributing to it. We are committed to doing our part. At Bali we will
work to launch a new phase in climate diplomacy. The US is committed to
concluding this effort by 2009. I recently met with key heads in Bogor,
Indonesia. There are four key factors: mitigation, adaptation, finance,
and technology. We enter the Bali meeting with an open mind. Our
deliberations will be guided by two considerations: environmentally
effective and economically sustainable.
