> June 27, 1997 The U.N. Earth Summit: Five years after the summit in Rio, the world's leaders are meeting again to look at the state of the environment today. This week in New York, world governments are meeting to take a look at what progress has been made since the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio.Critics say that we haven't come very far. Some foreign governments are saying that it's time for the U.S. to set solid standards and take the initiative in cutting greenhouse emissions. We'll take a look at news from the current meeting, talk about the state of current research into global warming, and look at one possible solution: renewable energy.
