Why the hell should we live up to their standards when they don't even live up to them???????

[Prokopton]

Germany, which holds the European Union and G-8 presidencies, is proposing a so-called "two-degree" target, whereby global temperatures would be allowed to increase no more than 2 degrees Celsius — the equivalent of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit — before being brought back down.

Are these people really that ignorant to think that we could bring down the temperature of the earth? Even the most radical junk science only seeks to reduce the rise in temperature. To actually bring down the temperature ofthe earth is ludicrous.

Germany, which holds the European Union and G-8 presidencies, is proposing a so-called "two-degree" target, whereby global temperatures would be allowed to increase no more than 2 degrees Celsius — the equivalent of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit — before being brought back down. Practically, experts have said that means a global reduction in emissions of 50 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.

If China and India are going to continue to grow at anything approaching their current rate, they will, by themselves, emit 50% of the 1990 levels well before 2050. There will, literally, be nothing left for the rest of the World under this formula.
