"This resolution broaches the pertinent problem of emissions into the atmosphere of non-CO
climate-relevant anthropogenic gas that could interfere with the Earth’s climate.
The almost exclusive attention given to carbon dioxide has contributed to obscuring, both at the level of public opinion and at the level of policy initiative, the reality that other compounds can contribute to what is known as the greenhouse effect. This attention is most likely self-serving, as it makes so-called ‘market solutions’ viable, such as the carbon market, and feeds the powerful interests queuing up to dominate this business.
This resolution indisputably has this merit: it draws attention to the consequences of other pollutants and to the need to take measures to control them. Some of these pollutants include methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), halocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons with strong global warming potential, and black carbon (soot).
The reference, albeit hesitant, to non ‘market’ solutions, and to their positive results, is equally important and should be valued. That is also true for the reference to the improper use of Kyoto Protocol flexibility mechanisms, such the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
For these reasons, we voted in favour of the resolution."@en1
