ヨーロッパは地球温暖化で寒冷化すると言う予測
http://www.asyura2.com/0401/bd33/msg/525.html
が有力だったんですが、2003年の熱波の分析からヨーロッパもやはり暑くなるのではないかと言う予測もあります。

いずれにしてもヨーロッパも低海抜地域のように深刻さが身に染みてきたかな。
京都議定書では2005年から協議を始めるとしている「温室効果ガスの2013年以降の削減約束」について、今回のCOPから前倒しで検討を始めるよう、各国の代表団に呼びかけた。
「条約発効10周年 その成果と将来への挑戦」がテーマのディスカッションには、日本をはじめ米国や中国、ロシア、EU(欧州連合)など温室効果ガスの大規模排出国の多くがパネリストに顔をそろえ、注目を集めた。
3番目に演説した小池環境相が、2013年以降の削減約束について「議定書の発効で、気候変動防止に対する機運が高まっている今こそ、将来に向けた行動について検討を始めよう」と述べると、地球温暖化の影響が深刻な島しょ国やEU諸国などから賛意が寄せられた。
しかし、議定書を離脱している米国や、議定書を批准したばかりのロシアが慎重な姿勢を示し、中東諸国なども反対。次期枠組みづくりのプロセスをどういう形で始めるのか、COP最終日の17日までに詰めの協議が行われる。

Argentina scolds 'two-faced' rich
*Argentine President Nestor Kirchner has accused rich nations of double standards in their policies on Third World debt and climate change.
Mr Kirchner told the Buenos Aires conference on climate change it was unacceptable that poor countries were held to the terms of their debts.
Meanwhile powerful nations had failed to fulfil their obligations to stop global warming, he said.
Correspondents say Mr Kirchner's comments were aimed at the US.
Washington has refused to adopt the Kyoto protocol and Mr Kirchner blames it for supporting the IMF's tough approach to Argentina's debts.
In a separate development, Spain and Argentina announced at the conference that they would set up a joint centre in Patagonia to study the depletion of the ozone layer.
*Debt restructuring
In a speech at the opening of the ministerial section of the conference, Mr Kirchner said it was "two-faced" to demand commitments on foreign debt from Third World countries while avoiding "the basic commitment to preserving life, seen in this convention and the Kyoto Protocol".
"We cannot accept that entire societies should be condemned to extinction simply because in another place in the world people will not agree to make the necessary effort," he said, according to the AFP news agency.
Mr Kirchner's comments come barely a month before Argentina is due to launch what has been described as the largest and most complex debt restructuring in history.
It is offering creditors around 40 cents in every dollar invested in Argentine bonds.
Argentina currently has a debt of $102.6bn, and analysts say the success of the restructuring is vital if the country is to put its economic crisis behind it.
*Extra measures
The BBC's Elliott Gotkine says that while for most people the crisis has little to do with climate change Mr Kirchner rarely misses an opportunity to bash the IMF.
Delegates to the conference, the 10th annual UN session on climate change, are expected to debate the need for extra measures above and beyond the Kyoto agreement.
The protocol, which will become a legally binding treaty in February, requires signatories to lower emissions of greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by 2012.
But the US, the world's biggest economy and largest emitter, has refused to sign, claiming the accord will unfairly affect American industry.
Around 6,000 people, including 150 government delegations and representatives of industry and environmental groups, have gathered for the conference.
