2007 was the year that saved the world
 

"Don't" is probably the better suggestion. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif

How many pols and flunkeys flew to Bali? And how many journos flew with them to parrot the press releases?

I have a dream.

A dream where the words -

"Reduction of greenhouse gas emission emissions" or
"Reduction of carbon dioxide emission" or
or whatever do nothing diplo-speak those people are blathering.

Are replaced with

"Per-capita reduction of fossil fuel usage"

But this will never happen. It's still a nice dream though. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/rockon.gif

"Per-capita reduction of fossil fuel usage" That's been Bush's phrasing since he came into office. It's stupid because any country where services are growing as a percentage of the economy, that'd be every western country, automatically passes without doing anything. Oh, and total GHG output keeps rising dramatically so the problem just gets worse.

I'm thinking more along the lines of percentage reductions in the 80-90% range or perhaps higher.

Remove the source of the problem and the solution will generate itself.
