But it doesn’t come close to reaching an accord - 50% by 2050 is like saying “the end of time is when we will talk about it some more”. 2050???? Why even discuss that far into the future before finding ways to at least level off emssions, to not increase them anymore. GHGs emssions will, apparently,continue to increase until 2049 and then the fossil fool cheifs will say “that darn Bush pushed us too far, we cannot meet those targets”. It is widely agree that what we do before 2012 will have the most effect in avoiding the worst extremes of weather and climate change. We just lost 10 years in Exxon funded denials, we have to make up time now. They are raising new ideas now - bringing up 2050, and skewing the targets to measure what “half” means with “current levels” instead of 1990 levels. Obviously, our leaders refuse to listen to the public will. Impeach the lot of them over the threat they pose due to emissions reductions delays. Seriously, it is a real threat. You realise that in 5 years we could have oceans rising fast due to ice sheet slippage?
