Cardoso says US decision on greenhouse gases is positive Brasilia, 13 (Agencia Brasil - ABr) - Today president Fernando Henrique Cardoso declared that the US decision to adopt measures to control greenhouse gases is positive, even though there was a formal decision not to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. "The United States is an important party to the convention. I hope the measures adopted domestically will have the same effect as adhering to the Kyoto Protocol," said Cardoso. (AB)
