OTTAWA (AP) - The head of the international body that oversees the Kyoto treaty said Monday that Canada's new climate change plan does not guarantee that greenhouse gas emissions will decrease.
Yvo de Boer, executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, criticized the Conservative government's plan to reduce emissions, which focuses on reducing the intensity of emissions rather than tough, overall curbs as other Kyoto signatories have done.
Intensity reduction allows industries to increase their greenhouse gas outputs as they raise production.
