I have to roll my eyes when I hear at the G8 summit our exalted leaders are unable to agree on short-term emissions-cutting targets and a firm amount of aid for developing countries — leading to a decision drop numerical targets altogether. Gee, and all along I though it was Bush who was dragging his feet on all this.
But don’t worry, they have acknowledged the “broad scientific view” that global warming must not be allowed to exceed two degrees Celsius. What hubris. The Earth is going to do what the Earth is going to do. They might as well pass a resolution to prevent tomorrows tide from rising more than 2 feet.
