LOS ANGELES: Barack Obama has sent an explicit message to international negotiators of a new global warming treaty that, under his administration, the US would move to greatly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century, and "help lead the world toward a new era of global co-operation on climate change".
The videotaped message, played to a conference on climate change, electrified more than 700 delegates from 22 countries gathered to debate strategies for cutting planet-warming pollution.
"It looks as if we're about to have a climate emissions Terminator in Washington," panel moderator Steve Howard, the chief executive of the London-based non-profit the Climate Group, told the conference, convened by the California Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
