17.12.2007 WWF:n mukaan ilmastonmuutostiekartan reitti on liian hidas, sillä selkeistä ja sitovista päästövähennyksistä ei saatu sovituksi. Tämä vaikeuttaa jatkoneuvotteluja ja hidastaa päästövähennysten aloittamista, mikä puolestaan nostaa tulevien ratkaisujen hintaa, WWF varoittaa.

Applausi alla fine della Conferenza di Bali - da unfccc.int
16.12.2007 Grazie allo sforzo congiunto dell'Europa e dei Paesi in via di sviluppo è stato evitato un passo indietro nella lotta ai cambiamenti climatici: gli USA sono stati isolati e costretti a ritrattare le loro posizioni": così Legambiente commenta le conclusioni della XIII Conferenza internazionale sui cambiamenti climatici (Cop 13) tenutasi a Bali. L'accordo di compromesso per non emarginare del tutto gli Stati Uniti non indica nel documento finale l’obiettivo di riduzione dei gas serra dal 20% al 40% entro il 2020. I firmatari dell'accordo riconoscono la necessità di finanziamenti dai Paesi ricchi a quelli poveri e in via di sviluppo per metterli in grado di fronteggiare i disastri naturali e gli effetti del riscaldamento globale. Il Fondo di adattamento stabilito da Kyoto (oggi di 37 milioni di euro) comincerà a funzionare dal prossimo anno, ma la sfida è arrivare a un fondo di 207 milioni di euro.

14.12.2007 Non siamo mai stati teneri con le politiche dello zio Sam nella nostra “first life”. Altra cosa sembra accadere in “second life”. A Bali (Indonesia), dove si è tenuta la Conferenza delle Nazioni Unite sul Clima a Bali (UNFCCC), la rete OneWorld ed il rappresentante del Congresso USA dialogano. Ne danno notizia i media più autorevoli, dal Washington Post alla CNN. Il Presidente del Comitato ristretto sulle Energie Alternative e del Riscaldamento Globale, il congressista Democratico del Massachusetts, Edward Markey, si è unito infatti all’iniziativa 'Virtual Bali' di OneWorld.net per partecipare alle trattative sul cambio climatico delle Nazioni Unite. È intervenuto, usando una versione animata in 3 dimensioni di sé stesso (un “avatar”). Markey ha cercato con tale iniziativa di dar coerenza al suo intervento risparmiando la quota parte di circa 5.36 tonnellate di emissioni di CO2 che corrisponde al viaggio aereo tra Washington e Bali. L'Onu ha elogiato la decisione di un comitato del Senato Usa di tagliare le emissioni di gas serra nello stesso momento in cui la Casa Bianca ribadiva la sua opposizione ai tetti di emissione. di Fabio Pipinato
