Gordon Brown Squibs It Too.

 

What is so good about 2050?

 

Hokkaido G8, AUS Labor, American predidentials and now Gorbon – why do they so love 2050?

 

Simple – it’s so far away politically that it doesn’t matter.

 

You can easily set a CO2 Target for 2050 without actually doing anything about it this year.

The fact that it will not work politically or economically becomes someone else’s problem.

You can fail every year to signifigantly reduce GH Gases at all because you havent actually failed to meet your target until 2050 itself.

 

Toooo cute.

 

2012 was a good year in 1997 when the Kyoto Protocol was adopted.
  The Kyoto Protocol was only tokenistic – it did not solve G, Warming.
     Not one of the signatories to it will meet their targets in 2012.
        Most will have actually increased their CO2 output instead of reducing it.

 

That’s the beauty of a target – they have not failed it until the actual date comes and goes and then of course you just set a newer, tougher, more spectacular target and a date even further away – 2050 – it kinda rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?

 

Labour Conference: Gordon Brown says CO2 targets must be raised to 80% by 2050

"""And I am asking the climate change committee to report by October on the case for, by 2050 not a 60 per cent reduction in our carbon emissions, but an 80 per cent cut – and I want British companies and British workers to seize the opportunity and lead the world in the transformation to a low carbon economy and I believe that we can create in modern green manufacturing and service 1m new jobs.""

Yeah right, Gordon

 

What’s that old cliche’? – "it doesn’t matter who you vote for, you always get a politician".
or that little old american lady – "oh I never vote – it only encourages them".
