Easy to achieve

These figures are easy to achieve!
Just continue antagonizing the Ruskies and all our gas will be cut off and with the Middle East oil all going to China we'll soon drop our CO2 emissions levels!

A few more numbers

The reference for the final goal is the emission level of 1990. That makes the math a bit spongy. Talk about politics.

With 41 years left until 2050, this would mean a reduction of only 3.85% per year. It is important to really achieve this decrease every year without creative mathematics or the whole scheme does not work. Miliband is irrelevant. What matters is that every individual person understands what is at stake.

I am sure China will follow suit, while the people in the USA will still believe that wealth is based on the ability to drive an SUV to the grocery store (and they will still not be able to cope with the metric system). Sweden was one of the first countries to aim for a reduction down to 65% by 2020, the same 3.85% per year, because the Swedish government realized that developing countries have a right to develop (a thought that does not cross the mind of the average Fox News viewer), which certainly means they will produce higher levels of emission.

Whatever happened to the ice-age I was promised 25 years ago?

Where's this ice-age?

Is there really going to be global warming and a disaster? Can we get a money-back guarentee on this?

Those 2 brother's are the shiftiest looking pair on UK TV. They make Cameron or Mandelson (voodoo) look trustworthy.

B**********

2050 is a stupid year to target why not any closer this makes my blood boil 2050 what a load of b*****t. Who's to say he'll be in that job they should be doing something now oh wait they can't because they just spent Tax Payers money on buying out the banks and speaking of that my G/F just got a letter for a £35 charge for being £4.67 overdrawn cheeky MF's thats what I can't understand they made billions from OD's charges where's it all gone.

Back on topic they should setting a target like 2015 and cut it down by 30-40% a reasonable target.

Sunday, October 19, NORML's Legal Committee and the faculty of Oaksterdam University will co-sponsor a special, third-day session, entitled “Everything You Wanted To Know About The Legalities Medical Cannabis, But Didn't Know Where To Ask.” This unique, one-day seminar will guide attendees through the maze of conflicting federal, state, and local medical cannabis laws and regulations, and will offer step-by-step instruction regarding how to establish a legal medical marijuana business in the state of California.

One mistake

His brother (the Foreign Secretary) is the "wannabe" next PM and Labour party leader. 

I found his speetch today bit out of place. Old Blighty has to cut the CO2 by 80% while China produces one coal plant every week, plus the rest of pollution.

He might as well make it 99%

In 2050 he'll be long gone, so he's out to get the brownie points NOW.
