关注气候峰会 学习环保热词

意大利一些环境保护主义者12月3日在罗马广场为意大利总理贝卢斯科尼的一座冰雕揭幕。据估计,12月7日哥本哈根气候峰会召开之时便是“老贝”冰雕消融之日。这座冰雕紧挨着凯撒大帝的石头雕像,上面还挂着环保主义者们打出的标语“老贝,别傻了,救救气候吧”。到目前为止,贝卢斯科尼为气候变化做出的主要贡献是在一年前曾和德国领导人一起为促成欧盟签署减排协议而在工业减排上做出让步。环境保护主义者指出,曾威胁要退出减排协议的贝卢斯科尼,应该为气候变化做出更多贡献。

Environmentalists unveiled an ice statue of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in the ancient Roman Forum on Thursday, timed to melt away on December 7 as the UN climate change summit begins in Copenhagen.

Environmentalists unveiled an ice statue of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in the ancient Roman Forum on Thursday, timed to melt away on December 7 as the UN climate change summit begins in Copenhagen.

"As well as just taking part in international showcases, we need coherent policies in Italy -- policies we don't see at the moment," said Greenpeace campaigner Francesco Tesco. "On climate, Berlusconi is in danger of being a leader who melts."

The Italian leader's main contribution to the climate change debate in Europe so far was one year ago when, together with Germany, he secured concessions for industry that enabled the European Union to sign a broad deal on cutting carbon emissions.

Environmentalists said Berlusconi, who threatened to block that deal at one point, had contributed to the EU making too many concessions to industry.

"Berlusconi don't be stupid -- save the climate," read the slogan on the ice sculpture, which stood next to an ancient stone statue of Roman emperor Julius Caesar.

Greenpeace said in a report accompanying its pre-summit stunt that 93 percent of Italy's energy still comes from fossil fuels. The government hopes to revive nuclear energy, which it quit two decades ago, to help cut emissions and energy bills.
