It is our belief that progress cannot be made through these formalized discussions.

One size does not fit all.

This goal sets America on a path to slow the growth of greenhouse gas emissions and, as the science justifies, to stop and then reverse that growth.

We believe there are multiple paths to be pursued here.

We also believe firmly that negotiations will not reap progress, as indicated, because there are differing perspectives.

We do not see this as a replacement, we see it as a complement to the Kyoto Protocol.

In the coming weeks, we plan to hold a senior officials meeting of all partners in Washington to identify steps to achieve transparency, to improve donor coordination, to build capacity and develop containment strategies.

Hopeful signs span the globe and there should be no doubt that the years ahead will be great ones for the cause of freedom.

No nation has made a greater contribution and a more concrete commitment to sustainable development.
