U.S. to cut carbon dioxide emissions
UNITED NATIONS — The United States said yesterday it would reduce its carbon dioxide emissions and donate $75 million to help developing countries do the same, raising hopes for an international agreement to help forestall global warming.

Negotiations for such a pact resumed Feb. 18 at the United Nations and will conclude today without resolving a European demand that industrial nations reduce emissions to 190 levels by the year 2000.

"It's an encouraging sign of progress, but there's a long way to go," said Brooks Yeager, vice president of the National Audubon Society. "It shows a new desire on the part of the White House to play a constructive role in the negotiations."
Among the measures announced by the United States to curb its own emissions of greenhouse gases were:
Improving energy efficiency by raising standards for buildings and appliances and by encouraging public-private partnerships to improve the efficiency of lighting, computer systems, refrigerators and industrial motors.
The United States said yesterday that it would donate $50 million to the World Bank's Global Environment Facility, which finances efforts by developing countries to address the problem of climate change. $25 million more is to be spent on cooperative studies to help developing countries assess their emissions and devise ways to reduce them.
The United States has refused to agree to specific limits on carbon dioxide emissions, arguing it could impose unreasonable costs on industry.
- introducing measures encouraging the use of vehicles that run on alternative fuels, public transit and research on electric cars.
Encouraging research on more efficient aircraft and trains, new methods of energy generation and promoting industrial waste reduction and recycling.
If so, the United States would be in a position to sign an international agreement in June at the United Nations
But the steps the United States is taking to curb its emissions could bring it into compliance with the demand, environmental groups said.
Most of these measures previously have been announced or are contained in legislation now moving through Congress, according to environmentalists. But they welcomed the changes, which are aimed at reducing

Most of the women — from 54 percent to 60 percent at the various sites — said they did not want to become pregnant within the next three years. But only 28 percent to 38 percent reported regular contraceptive use, and 37 percent to 49 percent said they never used contraceptives, the CDC said.

ing their desires," said Christine Galavati, a psychologist with the CDC's division of sexually transmitted disease protection.
The best predictions now say that carbon dioxide levels in the earth's atmosphere could double in the next century unless steps are taken to reduce emissions sharply. The increased carbon dioxide level would raise the earth's temperature by 2.7 to 8 degrees, causing unpredictable climate disruptions and raising ocean levels enough to threaten coastal areas.
ATLANTA — A study of women at high risk for AIDS in four U.S. cities has found that as many as half never use contraceptives, and up to two-thirds want to have children, health researchers reported yesterday.
Between 41 percent to 64 percent of the women surveyed said they wanted to have children. If such women were
"If we can help them implement their intention not to have children right now, we can help them avoid unintended pregnancy — and preserve their capacity to have children by helping them avoid HIV (AIDS virus) transmission."
U. S. officials have not yet calculated whether the planned emissions will stabilize U.S. carbon dioxide emissions at 1900 levels.

If the measures do work, the administration will be able to go along with a stabilization goal, removing a significant roadblock to an international agreement, said Alden Meyer, director of the climate change program with the Union of Concerned Scientists.

infected with HIV, their children would run the risk of being infected as well.
Researchers from local health departments and the national Centers for Disease Control studied 736 sexually active women at risk of AIDS because they or their sex partners have used intravenous drugs. The
AIDS-prevention outreach efforts could help prevent the women and their children from infection, but drug users are difficult to reach, Galavotti said.
"Merely surviving may really be the priority for them — not pregnancy planning or attending counseling sessions," she said.
