Jonah,

Beckett’s statement actually sounds like a way of trapping America

into some kind of targets regime while letting Europe off the hook of

meeting its Kyoto targets, which it’s not going to. I’m reserving

judgment here.

Incidentally, Europe’s failure to live up to its own hype shows just

how out of touch the Greens are with reality. It’s not voluntary

targets that aren’t worth the paper they’re written on, like Tindale

says, its the mandatory ones…
