Western countries are under pressure to cut back even more on emissions of carbon dioxide and other global-warming gases, while major developing countries such as China and India are being pressed to rein in the growth of their emissions. Environmentalists and poorer nations say richer countries should reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent or more by 2020, compared with 1990 levels, to avoid serious climate damage. The European Union has pledged 20, possibly 30 per cent. The U.S. has offered only a three-to-four per cent cut.
I know Canada is only pledging a 4% reduction as well. So, so disappointing.

I was and Im with you. Sad, sad, sad! Why couldn't they have got it together? I had such high hopes. I think they are going to try for something solid next year. Cross your fingers.
