At the G-8 summit an agreement was reached to
“seriously consider” a proposal to halve greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050.The goal is not mandatory, but rather a
“target.”
One of the key factors in the proposal is the effort to get China and India on board, because without them, emission-reduction goals are meaningless.
The agreement has been hailed by the MSM as a capitulation by President Bush, who has supposedly
“seen the light” on the need to fight climate change.

The inconvenient truth is that the agreement is essentially the President’s proposal
and not what Europeans have fought for.

It is Europeans that have caved, admitting that Kyoto is a failure economically ,and in terms of meeting its own standards,and they have agreed to less economically harmful measures for combating warming.
In other words, they have come around to President Bush’s way of thinking, without admitting it, of course.
You can bet that once they think about it the gears will slam into reverse.
