Al Gore (ancien vice-pr\u00e9sident de Clinton, candidat \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidence contre GW en 2000) a \u00e9t\u00e9 engag\u00e9 par le gouvernement britannique pour lui servir de conseil et lui recommander des actions de promotion de la lutte contre le r\u00e9chauffement climatique. (L’engagement est annonc\u00e9 un peu partout, notamment dans le Guardian<\/em> du jour<\/a>.) Cela repr\u00e9sente un cas tr\u00e8s \u00e9tonnant, un \u00e9v\u00e9nement tr\u00e8s peu commun, dont on ne sait s’il faut le qualifier de politique ou d’activiste. Bien s\u00fbr, cette d\u00e9cision doit \u00eatre consid\u00e9r\u00e9e dans la mouvance d’un rapport qui fait grand bruit \u00e0 Londres, qui est le rapport Stern dont nous avons d\u00e9j\u00e0<\/a> parl\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tL’engagement de Al Gore, qui concerne notamment des actions de promotion aux USA o\u00f9 la cause de la lutte contre le r\u00e9chauffement climatique est tr\u00e8s contest\u00e9e, pose un probl\u00e8me singulier pour deux raisons : <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t En quoi cet engagement au service du gouvernement britannique va-t-il interf\u00e9rer sur la carri\u00e8re politique \u00e9ventuelle de Gore ? Certains jugent que Gore peut, dans certaines circonstances, appara\u00eetre comme un possible candidat d\u00e9mocrate de recours, si le parti avait besoin d’un homme plus \u00e0 gauche que la majorit\u00e9 des candidats actuels.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Gore ne va-t-il pas, en s’alliant au gouvernement britannique, miner aux USA la cause dont il va faire la promotion ? Ne va-t-on pas voir en lui un tra\u00eetre \u00e0 la cause am\u00e9ricaniste de d\u00e9fense contre toute atteinte au statu quo<\/em> du business<\/em> ? (Certes le lobbying<\/em> US admet cette sorte de situation d’Am\u00e9ricain travaillant pour l’\u00e9tranger mais sur les sujets br\u00fblants elle peut devenir tr\u00e8s contest\u00e9e.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tCi-dessous, le m\u00eame Guardian<\/em> nous signale que l’accueil washingtonien au rapport Stern est plut\u00f4t r\u00e9serv\u00e9. Le cas peut devenir une pol\u00e9mique majeure entre USA et UK.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abThe prime minister has said any such agreement needs the support of the US, which refused to join Kyoto because it said it would harm the economy. The White House said last night that it had not read the report. But Kristin Hellmer, the White House counsel on environmental quality, said: The president has said from the beginning that climate change is a serious issue, and he is taking action on it.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbShe disputed charges from scientists that the administration had been hostile to the concept of global warming, and that it had set back international efforts to limit greenhouse gases by rejecting the Kyoto treaty.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbAlden Meyer, director of policy and strategy with the Union of Concerned Scientists, a US group, suggested the only prospect for a policy shift before the next presidential election in 2008 would be if a delegation from the vast majority of US business including the coal, utilities and car manufacturing industries lobbied the White House for action. But he added of today’s review: It is a benchmark in a long process that is going to continue after the release.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 30 octobre 2006 \u00e0 18H23<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Al Gore (ancien vice-pr\u00e9sident de Clinton, candidat \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidence contre GW en 2000) a \u00e9t\u00e9 engag\u00e9 par le gouvernement britannique pour lui servir de conseil et lui recommander des actions de promotion de la lutte contre le r\u00e9chauffement climatique.
