Soviet delegate sees no hope in missile talks
By United Press International
GENEVA, Switzerland — The chief Soviet delegate at talks with the United States to limit medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe hinted again yesterdays that the Soviets might walk out, saying that he saw no chance for agreement.
Yuli Kvitsinsky issued the assessment before a session of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces talks — the 97th since the negotiations on limiting medium-range missiles began Nov. 30, 1961.
Kvitinsky said that the Soviets were prepared to stay at the negotiating table to find an accord "as long as it is there, and there are prospects, but there are none."
In Washington, White House spokesman Larry Speaks said the United States was "not prejudging the end result."
At the United Nations yesterday, Kenneth Adelman, director of the U.S.
Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, accused Moscow of trying to maintain a complete Soviet monopoly on medium-range missiles.
AT A PRESS conference Wednesday, President Reagan called the Soviet warnings a "great propaganda effort" to prevent NATO deployment, and said that if Moscow carried out its threat against the table, and I think they'll come back."
Meanwhile, leaders of the Warsaw Pact nations ended a three-day conference in East Berlin, warning sternly that NATO's planned deployment of new medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe could provoke a nuclear war."
"It would undermine European and worldwide peace, increase the threat of a nuclear inferno and seriously damage the economic and social conditions of mankind," said the statement, reported by ADN, the official East German news agency.
However, the communique added that leaders still believed an agreement might be reached at Geneva. It suggested that the Geneva session
should be extended if the current talks failed — but only if the deployment was delayed.
IN BRUSSELS, Belgium, a senior U.S. official said that NATO countries scheduled to base new medium-range missiles on their soil probably would not change their decisions, despite a wave of anti-nuclear protests.
"The effect this would have on deployments would, of course, be a question of national decision, but I must say I do not anticipate that there would be any changes of national positions as a result of this," the official said. He spoke on the condition that he not be identified.
Italian Prime Minister Bettino Craxi, meeting with Reagan at the White House, voiced support for the placement of U.S. missiles in Europe and said that arms talks with the Soviets must continue even if Deployment began.
WASHINGTON — A National Research Council committee yesterday expressed deep concern about the predicted warming of Earth's climate in decades ahead from the carbon dioxide "greenhouse effect," but said there was no cause for panic.
The panel reached that conclusion in a report to Congress on a two-year study, and one author suggested mankind had a period of about 20 years in which to decide what action — if any — to take
By United Press International
Earlier this week, the Environmental Protection Agency warned of serious consequences from a global temperature rise resulting from an increase of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.
'Greenhouse effect' concerns research group
a special committee of the council, which is the research arm of the prestigious National Academy of Sciences.
It said there is no doubt that carbon dioxide concentrations in the air are increasing, primarily from burning coal, oil and gas. An increase greater than 7 percent occurred during the past 25 years.
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acts like glass in a greenhouse — allowing heat from the sun to reach surfaces and creating a return flow of that heat back into space.
As a result, the committee said it concludes "with considerable confidence" that the planet will warm up as more carbon dioxide reaches the atmosphere. It said a doubling of carbon dioxide concentrations, most likely to occur after 2050, probably will increase surface air warming
anywhere from 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit to 8 degrees.
"WITH MUCH LESS confidence we infer other more specific regional climate changes, including relatively greater polar temperature increase over the past 50 years and latitudes — the latitudes of the United States," the 496-page report said.
The report said such carbon dioxide increases are no concern as far as the quality of air we breathe is concerned. The panel said the social and economic implications of a global warming are largely unpredictable.
"Nevertheless, we are deeply concerned about environmental changes of this magnitude," it said. "Manmade emissions of greenhouse gases promise to impose a warming of 2°C or greater in climate that is already unusually warm. We may get into trouble in ways that we have barely imagined."
