However, he does not elaborate upon why the citizens of the US and of other countries should see climate change as entailing ethical issues, nor the specific nature of the ethical prescriptions or dilemmas raised by this growing threat. More than 180 nations at the UN Climate Change Conference agreed last week on the next procedural steps toward negotiating deeper cuts in future green-house gas emissions, although little progress was made on concrete commitments to reverse the growing danger of climate change. Future meetings will review the workings of the Kyoto Protocol with an eye toward setting new quotas on carbon dioxide and other emissions after Kyoto expires in 2012.
