He said that the 15 countries responsible for the overwhelming bulk of greenhouse gas emissions would meet in the autumn and a deal could be struck before the end of next year.他說， 15個國家負責提供絕大部分的溫室氣體排放量，這將滿足在秋季和處理，可以擊中之前，明年年底前完成。 He did not specify whether the global goal he referred to would be voluntary, but he has consistently opposed mandatory caps.他沒有具體說明是否全球性目標，他所指的將是自願的，但他卻一貫反對強制性的帽子了。

Another German official described the proposal as a “poison pill” aimed at undermining G8 and UN efforts to tackle global warming.另一家德國官員形容這項建議，因為一個"毒丸"旨在破壞八國集團和聯合國的努力，解決全球變暖問題。
Environmentalists were also furious.環保主義者也震怒。
