The G8, acting much like a corporate ostrich has once again done nothing about climate change.Like the big corporations such as oil companies, they have pushed the idea of reducing greenhouse emissions off onto a future generation. The problem is, by then it will be too late.
The result was a "target" of reducing emissions worldwide by 50% by 2050. The Kyoto Protocol sought a 5% reduction below the 1990 levels for each country. This "target" simply pushes the problem back and refuses to take immediate action.
Though there was much discussion of how to help India and China as well as other developing countries, nothing of substance really got done. Typical!
