VIENNA – Curbs needed to fight global warming could be less drastic than a 50-percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 favoured by the European Union, the United States’ chief climate negotiator said onย Monday.

President George W. Bush agreed at a summit in Germany with his main industrial allies in June that UN climate reports showed that โ€œglobal greenhouse gas emissions must stop rising, followed by substantial global emissionย reductionsโ€.

However, the text of the agreement did not define โ€œsubstantialโ€.
