Renewal of Greenhouse Gas Reduction Promise

Posted on 1/31/2010 at 8:55:58 PM

In light of last months Copenhagen emissions summit, governments around the world have renewed their promises to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Surprisingly, China is leading the cuts with a promise to reduce “emission intensity” (whatever that means) by at least 40% by 2020.

The Eu plans to cut emmisions by just 20%, America just 17%.

Only time will tell if these promises are realistic and if they do anywhere near enough to protect what’s left of our environment. There are all sorts of forecasts, some predicting most the UK will be underwater by 2020, some say its too late, others say we’ll pretty much be unaffected.
