Euro-ministers condemn America over Kyoto rejection

European environment ministers have condemned America’s rejection of the Kyoto Protocol and its policies on greenhouse gas emissions, calling it a political move to preserve the energy-burning US lifestyle that has nothing to do with economics.

The comments, on the final day of weekend talks by environment ministers of the world’s industrial powers in Alberta, Canada, overshadowed their discussions on how to integrate environmental issues in new global policies for sustainable development.
