A new draft proposal released Friday at the Copenhagen climate summit calls for developed countries to make deeper cuts to greenhouse gas emissions than current commitments.

The six-page draft document, authored by Michael Zammit Cutajar, the chair of the UN's ad-hoc working group on long-term co-operative action, doesn't specify a solid emission reduction target for developed countries such as Canada, but instead offers a range of options.

For example, the draft calls for emission reductions of 25 to 45 per cent from 1990 levels by 2020 for developed countries, and reductions of between 15 and 30 per cent by 2020 for developing countries.

Now come reports that the Conservative government in Canada has considered abandoning some of the greenhouse gas reduction goals set out in its 2007 green plan and allowing weaker targets for the oil and gas sector, documents obtained by CBC News suggest.

The proposal raises questions about how the Tories could cut overall greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent by 2020 -- a target they insist they can reach -- while weakening the targets in the oil and gas sector.

Just over a week after announcing an increase in U.S. troop strength for the war in Afghanistan, President Barack Obama picked up his Nobel Peace Prize on Thursday.

Obama's acceptance speech at the awards ceremony in Oslo, Norway, touched on war and security.

Addressing the issue that the award might have come prematurely, Obama acknowledged that compared with past recipients -- including Nelson Mandela, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Albert Schweitzer -- "my accomplishments are slight."

Full story.

The Nobel committee has defended their decision to award Obama the prize, with Geir Lundestad, secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, explaining that "Obama's creation of a new climate in international politics" closely fulfils the mandate of the award.

See video of Lundestad's statement.

The committee also cites the following as criteria for receiving the peace prize:

- Creating fraternity between nations.
- Reduction in standing armies.
- International diplomacy.
