G8 on climate change

The G8 summit has declared that global greenhouse gas emissions must stop rising, to be followed by substantial reductions in the emissions. They want to half global emissions by 2050. 2050!!! Are they mad? At this rate, there won't be a planet left to reduce emissions on by 2050. Bush has said he will 'consider' reducing emissions, but only if emerging economies do so as well. What a jerk that man is. He thinks the USA is the leader of the free world, but with him in charge, all it does is put it's head in the sand and pretend that it isn't happening. US citizens need to give up their gas guzzlers, and wake up to the reality that cheap oil isn't a right, and the US government has to do something to curb the industrialists who are only concerned with making a profit.

G8 agrees 'substantial' climate deal
