Nations, oil producers debate
as global warming pact nears
fee: Leaders ‘4
decry option y 0
□ Critics say the Berlin accords to
curb fossil fuel burning would zap
world economic growth.
NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly three years have
passed since the world pledged to combat global
warming. Next week, the pledge comes due.
Now it’s time for the real work foreshadowed by
the 1992 U.N. Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.
More than 100 nations will sit down in Berlin to
devise treaty regulations that could cost them bil
lions of U.S. dollars.
The Framework Convention on Climate
Change, signed in June 1992 amid the pomp of
the Earth Summit, is one of the most far-reaching
environmental accords ever negotiated. It could
force drastic reductions in fossil fuel use if tough
regulations are adopted in Berlin.
Or the treaty could become, in the words of one
environmental group, little more than “an inter
national joke.”
Critics of the treaty say sharp cuts in fossil fuel
burning would cripple economic growth. Environ
mentalists say a failure to act would lead to dras
tic climate disruptions with devastating economic
consequences around the globe.
With stakes so high, hundreds of industry lob
byists and environmentalists will descend on
Berlin for the 11-day meeting that begins next
Tuesday in the German city.
The treaty has languished during the long
process of ratification in national legislatures.
Since it was signed, nearly 9 billion more tons of
carbon dioxide have been pumped into the earth’s
already polluted atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide is called a greenhouse gas be
cause, along with methane and chlorofluorocar-
bons, it traps the sun’s heat in the atmosphere,
like the windows in a greenhouse or a car parked
in the sun.
At the urging of the former Bush administra
tion, the treaty was written without deadlines or
targets for greenhouse gas reduction.
The treaty was motivated by scientific predic
tions forecasting a temperature rise of 3-8 degrees
during the next century.
That may sound modest, but it would be
enough to dramatically affect world climate. It
could disrupt agriculture, increase the number
and severity of major storms, and raise sea levels,
by melting some polar ice, enough to flood coastal
cities and some island nations.
There is no dispute over the observation that
the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is
rising. There is likewise no dispute over the obser
vation that the Earth has warmed by about 1 de
gree during the 20th century.
Disagreements center on the meaning of those
figures. Many environmentalists argue that the
global warming has already begun.
Industry officials say that’s not so, because the
rise is too slight and much of it occurred early in
the 20th century when the use of fossil fuels was
much lower than it is now.

“I think there was a good se
lection of questions,” Bowers
said. “We probably could have
gone longer.”
Southerland said that despite
recent system expansion and its
consequent growing pains, the
student body as a whole should be
able to adjust.
“The quality of campus life
here is directed by the stu
dents,” Southerland said. “Can
that type of past quality be
maintained now that we are
the third largest university? I
think the answer is, ‘ yes.’”
Leslie and Gaston said campus
relations have improved because
students have been talking to
each other.
“We need to focus on what’s
important,” Leslie said.
“Stereotypes are very real on
this campus. The only way to
deal with this is to open lines of
communication.”
Bowen spoke briefly about the
Texas A&M University System’s
expansion, saying that Baylor
College of Dentistry and East
Texas State University may pos
sibly join the System.
In addition, he said the Texas
Senate passed a bill that will take
away Texas A&M International
University in Laredo and give it
to the University of Texas Sys
tem. The bill is currently under
review in the state House.
Bowen said there are many ad
vantages and cooperative oppor
tunities available through the
partnership with TAMIU.
“It would be a great tragedy to
not have that university under
our system,” Bowen said. “Every
program they might add is an ex
cellent opportunity for our stu
dents. We’re going to strongly op
pose the change.”
Students also asked about im
proving safety on campus by in
creasing lighting and emergency
phones. Southerland said he has
toured the campus, and has seen
places where lighting canbt||

Gibson said that recycling packets ex

apartment units this week. In an effort to
make things easier on tenants, she said
College Station is also providing plastic
bags for residents’ recycled materials. “We
want to put some incentives into the sys

to work for the long-term.”
In addition to the University Towers,
other complexes participating in the pro
