From BBC News.
"US President Barack Obama said the move was "historic", as he set a new goal of reducing US levels between 26%-28% by 2025, compared with 2005 levels.
China did not set a specific target, but said emissions would peak by 2030."
Great deal, we cut our emissions by 27% by 2025 and China keeps going up until 2030. Sounds like I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
From the same article, China has 29 percent of global emissions and the US 15 percent. So the smaller number will go down in exchange for a promise that the larger emitter will stop going up in 16 years. Instead of The Great Leap Forward we get the Great Leap of Faith.
I want the Chinese to go with me the next time I buy a car. No payments for 16 years then I'll see what I can do.
