U.S. opposes act of gases causing By The Associated Press NOORDWIJK, Netherlands ? More than 60 nations today urged the world to stabilize by the yeai 2000 the emission of gases blamed for the "green house effect." They acted over opposition from th< United States, the Soviet Union and Japan. Most 01 the participants at the bo-nation conrerence on global warming adopted a declaration saying tha carbon dioxide emissions should be stabilized withir 10 years as a first step toward fighting the pollutior problem. Environmentalists were bitter about the refusal o the United States, Soviet Union and Japan to sign th< declaration. "The conference is a total failure, and the Unitei States and Japan have sabotaged it," said Danie Becker, an official of the Sierra Club, a Washington based environmentalist group. The Dutch, hosts of the two-day ministerial meet ing, had hoped to align all the participating nation: unanimously behind a commitment to stabilize emis sions by the end of the century and to begin reducinj them in 2005. William K. Reilly, chief administrator of the U.S Environmental Protection Agency, said the "distinc tion was between those countries that want to commi themselves to stabilization by the year 2000 and those including the United States, who are not prepared t( say so at this time." m w * B|?

But we're not prepared to say by r what time and by what level." ^a( Reilly said the countries should wait for completion fla( ; of studies by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate in& Change, a forum trying to find ways of reducing Pei global warming. c?r The level at which the emissions were to be stabil- 1311 ized will be set next year by the U.N.-sponsored cli- t0 ! mate change panel, which is planning a meeting in Washington in February, and the World Climate Conference scheduled for late 1990, according to the ria- osa f tions' declaration. cau Earlier, Japanese delegates said they were awaiting l e ^ - - A more scientific data on climate change and on the ecoi nomic effects of drastic measures to curb the green- c 0 1 house effect, which is believed by some scientists to J _ be the cause of a slight warming of the earth's atmosphere. 1 Some scientists fear the phenomenon could eventu- L ally lead to the flooding of coastal areas and expan- ^ s sion of deserts. " Carbon dioxide is a major contributor to the green- ; ' house effect. In 1988, the United States accounted for nearly 24 percent of total world emissions of the gas, ajj according to the Dutch Environment Ministry. Much carbon dioxide is produced by the burning of fuels se* t such as coal and gasoline. fac The final declaration also called for ways to provide f > money to Third World nations to help them cope with jQii the consequences of climatic change. tra, rusofMl < < 1 may b but I kr a little 5 about t 11 gB B^S ?fi B i 1 JH I ^.|;,;; gg j^^H |fl^||^^HNB I Jacqueline Reinhard Arizona State U j^ ?1989ATST ;;^^;j;/!r-/ f* > Jr loard Continued from page "air was not quiet on an earlier Chairman W >posal, however. committee f fhe Academic Affairs and board shoul mlty-Trustee Liaison Committee their comm 1 discussed at its Sept. 24 meet- "Harmful to a proposal by Fair to prohibit But Fair sons under 18 from attending sity emplo icerts and plays that might con- promoters o t material considered offensive struct the p some. the concerl harmful to n Hie committee refused the prop- Bethea di 1, saying it was redundant be- sented a le ise the university is bound by eluding a hi state's "Harmful to Minors" tions of roc: t and that it came dangerously described as se to artistic censorship.
