Department of State Washington File: Text: Press Release on Ratification of Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change
Guinea, Kiribati, Lesotho, and Mexico have become the newest nations to ratify the Kyoto Protocol on climate change. The announcement comes in a September 13 press release from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. ...

US Department Of State Post Report
Bolivia lies entirely within the Tropics, but extreme differences in elevation from 300 feet (90 meters) along the Brazilian border to 21,000 feet (6,400 meters) at the highest peaks produce a great variety of climatic conditions. Coupled with soil diversity, this produces highly varied vegetation, from the sparse scrub grasses in semiarid highlands to lush rain forests containing a variety of hardwoods (Mahogany, South American, Oak, and Cedar). There are two seasons in La Paz — a rainy season beginning in December and continuing through March (it rains almost daily during this period), and a dry season running from April to November. The climate is generally cool, but brilliant sunshine raises daytime temperatures. Midday outdoor parties and activities are pleasant. (The chart temperatures are readings in the shade; in the midday sun of La Paz, it can be 10°F–15°F (5°C–9°C) warmer than the “high” indicated.) Rainfall averages 20 inches (51 centimeters) a year. ... [Read More]
