That Bush nixed an effort by the G8 members for agreeing a 50% cut by 2050
was sheer denialist circus -
for that target was not remotely "realistic" as you suggest.

In fact it was merely a random pair of numbers, chosen for their roundness,
in total denial of scientific advice.

Their adoption would have generated a CO2 concentration of way over 550ppmv,
effectively garanteeing the feedback loops running the climate into a catastrophic instability.

For the record, back in 1990, the IPCC advised that just to stop adding to the problem of excess airborne GHGs
we will need to cut our global output of them by 60% to 80%.

Until the day we have done so, we will continue to worsen the problem.

So, apart from the photo-ops, what would be the point of agreeing a nonsense target,
 for more than four decades hence,
 with an utterly corrupt American regime ?

Regards,

Bill

These cuts are reachable in a voluntary fashion by 2050.

France has already cut its GHGs by going 80 nuclear.

The Chevy Volt can get 150 mpg.

And those are just the begining.

Boeing announced a 40% efficient solar cell.

New hydrogen storage technologies have been patented at an exponential rate in the past 3 years.
