CLIMATE CHANGE:
OPEC
Members Share Responsibility,
Say Venezuelan Experts
The petroleum producing
countries should make a greater
contribution to fighting global
warming, even though the
obligations established by the
Kyoto Protocol fall primarily on
the shoulders of the
industrialised oil consumer
nations, Venezuelan analysts
say.
The members of the Organisation
of Petroleum Exporting Countries
(OPEC) "should be ashamed for
trying to pass themselves off as
victims and even attempting to
obtain funds under the Kyoto
Protocol," Francisco Mieres, an
environmentalist and professor
specialising in the oil economy,
told IPS.
"Not only do they contribute to
global warming through the
burning of gas in the production
process and of crude in the
refining stage, but also some of
them, like Indonesia, have
permitted the savage destruction
of their forests," he added.
The OPEC nations -- Algeria,
Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait,
Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi
Arabia, the United Arab Emirates
and Venezuela -- produce 35
percent of the crude oil
consumed in the world, which
translates into total combined
earnings of over 200 billion
dollars.
