A comprehensive approach to climate policy is needed and should include efforts to address the energy crisis, However, a plausible case can be made that the U.S. is putting in place a workable, if imperfect greenhouse gas regulatory program.
But the two imminent goals — a gas deal and a workable modus vivendi for Crimea — require agreements with the new Ukrainian government.
Most environmentalists had hoped that the December 2009 Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen would finally produce a workable, global scheme to reduce greenhouse gasses in the environment.

The failure of the global-warming talks in The Hague is a case in point.There are many reasons for the continuing delay in turning the targets that were agreed to in Kyoto in 1997 into a workable programme of cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions.

The United Nations body, which has been meeting for 20 years, has set ambitious goals for reducing global emissions of climate-altering gasses but has so far failed to produce a workable international agreement to achieve them.
What seems to be lacking is an understanding and consensus of real, workable technologies and practices to solve the crisis of growing concentrations of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere.
The stresses, strains and deformations are a function of characteristics of the mining area and panel geometry, geological properties of the formations above and below the workable coal seam, and the wellbore design and completion method used for the drilling of the gas wells tapping into Marcellus shale.
