Environmentalists,on the other hand,say Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has not properly addressed the threat of climate change.Activists had sought a minimum emissions cut of 25 percent.

　　Instead,the Rudd government aims to cuts carbon emissions by at least five percent of 2000 levels by 2020.That amount could rise to 15 percent,if future global agreements set such a target.

　　Ray Nias of the environmental group WWF says Australia will pay the price for low targets.“This is a deeply,deeply disappointing target,” Nias said.“It commits Australia to long-term climate change.It will make Australia’s ability to negotiate (协商) global agreements very,very difficult.It is much lower than even we had imagined.” 

　　Australia has one of the highest per-person greenhouse emissions rates in the world because of its reliance on coal for electricity.

　　Some scientists warn that the vast,dry Australian continent,which has been suffering a series of droughts in recent years,could be one of the region’s hardest hit by global warming.
