Reaction to G-8 Global Warming proposal

As noted in the previous post, the G8 has no intention of taking any meaningful action on climate change. What they claim as "progress", is just another cover for inaction, more greenhouse gas emissions and finger pointing at the developing world. Here's some of the reaction.

The United Nations Environment Programme issued a news release stating that

G8 leaders missed an opportunity to provide the kind of signal that would accelerate the international negotiation process

From Greenpeace

So what have we learned from the G8's three wasted days?

1. Never do today what you can keep putting off until tomorrow...
2. Never miss the opportunity - whatever the crisis - to make a quick sale…
3. You can have your cake and eat it - so long as it's genetically modified…
4. Acknowledge the problem, and hopefully it'll go away…
5. Always look on the bright side of life…
