The Kyoto Protocol isn’t doing enough was the opinion of Mexico’s Environment Secretary Juan Rafael Elvira Quesada the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Bali today. Quesada is proposing on behalf of Mexico a global fund which would help developing countries take steps to help avoid global warming:

Facing up to global climate change is a shared responsibility that demands immediate action. The lack of action on the part of some cannot be an excuse for letting them impede our own efforts.

I mentioning those “some”, Quesada was clearly referring to the Bush administration, which has never accepted the terms of the Kyoto Protocol, leaving this country as non-compliant with its principles.

Quesada stressed that developing countries such as Mexico are extremely vulnerable to climate change, citing the example of the recent floods in Tabasco which were some of the worst in the country’s history.
