The article reports on the opening of the United Nations (UN) climate negotiations in Poznan, Poland. The negotiations are meant to facilitate agreement on a successor to the Kyoto protocol and to consider proposals for compensating tropical countries which conserve carbon-capturing rainforests and for cutting rich-world emissions. Environment minister Maciej Nowicki of Poland warned that greenhouse gas emissions would be global threats of great intensity if no concerted action will be done.
