Report: US, Europeans Divided on Climate Proposals
--------------------------------------------------



In other environmental news, US and European negotiators have reportedly
split over proposals to regulate pollution ahead of the upcoming global
climate summit in Copenhagen. The Guardian of London reports the
division centers around how to count national carbon reduction targets.
The US is reportedly seeking to drop structures established under the
Kyoto Protocol that regulate how greenhouse reductions are calculated
and how carbon credits are sold. The apparent US proposal would instead
let individual countries unilaterally decide how to meet their emissions
targets.
