(Bloomberg) -- U.S. President George W. Bush's
proposal yesterday to convene talks between the world's biggest
emitters of greenhouse gases won't bypass existing negotiations

In a speech in Washington yesterday, Bush softened his past
opposition to setting global goals to cut pollution, calling for
talks between the U.S. and major emitters such as India and China
to establish a new framework for when the Kyoto Protocol treaty
on emissions expires in 2012. That prompted criticism from
environmentalists that he was bypassing global talks hosted by
the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
