"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"669746\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are no direct health effects from greenhouse gases. The analysis that we do is premised on the direct health effects of the air pollutants in terms of exposure. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"669747\" data-originallang=\"en\">The implications of Kyoto are global. Climate change is something that's developing, as Susan mentioned in her speech, and is ongoing. You can't do an economic analysis on the impact of one country in those terms, because you're looking at long-term impacts on the change in the climate and the resultant health benefits. We do not have enough certainty from the models to calculate those things. If you were to try to divide it down on a country-by-country basis, you would get a negligible impact. That's not to say that there are not benefits from reducing greenhouse gas emissions; it's simply that you cannot calculate those health benefits with the science that's available, because they do not have direct health effects.</p>",

Le changement climatique est un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne qui prend de l\u2019ampleur, ainsi que Susan l\u2019a mentionn\u00e9 dans son allocution, et qui est permanent. On ne peut effectuer une analyse \u00e9conomique de l\u2019incidence d\u2019un seul pays \u00e0 ce chapitre, du fait qu\u2019on examine les r\u00e9percussions \u00e0 long terme sur les changements que subit le climat et les avantages pour la sant\u00e9 qui en d\u00e9coulent. Les mod\u00e8les ne nous fournissent pas suffisamment de certitude pour nous permettre d\u2019\u00e9valuer ces r\u00e9percussions. Si l\u2019on essayait de les r\u00e9partir pays par pays, on obtiendrait un impact n\u00e9gligeable. Cela ne veut pas dire qu\u2019aucun avantage ne d\u00e9coule de la r\u00e9duction des \u00e9missions de gaz \u00e0 effet de serre; simplement, on ne peut pas calculer ces avantages pour la sant\u00e9 au moyen des donn\u00e9es scientifiques dont nous disposons, du fait qu\u2019ils n\u2019ont pas d\u2019effets directs sur la sant\u00e9. </p>"
