New Delhi: The historic United Nations meet on global warming has started in Bali in Indonesia. Delegates from over 180 countries are participating in the 10 day summit — the biggest-ever climate conference — on ways to replace the Kyoto Protocol, which is due to expire in 2012. 
 
The meeting aims at addressing the dangerous consequences of global warming, and to draft an agreement to replace the Kyoto Protocol by 2009 in order to have a system in place in time. 
 
Viability of cuts in carbon emissions and whether it should be made mandatory or voluntary will also feature in meet. 
 
A main thrust of the conference will be to draw the United States, the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, into the process. Washington did not ratify the Kyoto Protocol, arguing that mandatory cuts in emissions would harm the economy and calling into question the veracity of global warming science. 
 
Confronted with the scientific reports of the past year, however, President George Bush's government has signaled a willingness to play a larger role in the negotiations, and UN officials agree that they must craft a post-Kyoto framework that Washington will go along with. 
 
The meeting follows a series of scientific reports this year concluding that the world has the technology to slow global warming, but must act immediately. 
 
Earlier this year the UN's Climate Panel urged drastic action to stop ecological disaster or risk economic and environmental disaster caused by rising temperatures. 
 
The Bali meeting will be the first major climate change conference since former US Vice President Al Gore, due to arrive next week, and a UN scientific council won the Nobel Peace Prize in October for their environmental work, fueling the growing sense of urgency as ice caps melt, oceans rise and extreme weather increases.
