São Paulo - Brazil will ask at the 19th Conference of Parties to the Framework Convention of the United Nations on Climate Change ( COP -19 ) - which starts next Monday ( 11 ) , Warsaw ( Poland ) - the creation a methodology for each country to calculate their historical responsibility on the global temperature rise .
"Brazil is leading to Warsaw some contributions to the negotiations . The first is that the IPCC [ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ] prepare rather fast a simplified methodology for each country to calculate their historical responsibility for global temperature rise " , said today ( 4 ) deputy Chief of the Division of Climate, Ozone and Chemical Safety of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs , Felipe Rodrigues Gomes Ferreira . He spoke at an event of the Brazilian Association of Chemical Industry ( Abiquim ) .
According to Ferreira , the calculation of the historical responsibility of the global warming is a " key issue " and is defended by Brazil since 1997 , when there was the negotiation of the Kyoto Protocol . " The focus of the real cause of the problem , that is not the issue today is the accumulation of emissions in the atmosphere since pre -industrial times. That is the key question . The cause is the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the effect it has in temperature over time , "he said .
Report released in late September by the IPCC shows that the human influence on climate is the main cause of global warming observed since the mid 20th century . The increase in temperature is evident and each of the past three decades has been successively hotter. According to the text , there is a 95 % probability that more than half of the average increase in temperature of the Earth between 1951 and 2010 were caused by man . The greenhouse gases have contributed to the warming of between 0.5 and 1.3 degrees Celsius (° C ) in the period between 1951 and 2010 .
" [ We are not proposing ] a general formula and unrestricted , a calculation done by convention as each country has to do [ to reduce emissions ] . We are proposing to develop a methodology that , just as each country calculates its GDP [ Gross Domestic Product , which measures total goods and services produced in the country ] , that each country can make its national accounting not only emissions , but also the historical responsibility of the country in increasing global temperature . It is what is expected of Warsaw , "said Ferreira .
