UPDATE: G8 is over and so, it seems, is any prospect of a Global agreement on environmental issues:
This is probably the final decade where we are still capable of putting a stop to the ever growing ecological cancer known as "human progress". If the prosperity of this generation is at the expense of generations yet to come I suggest it is a prosperity we do not deserve to celebrate.
So here we are, safe in the knowledge that the Earth is on one-way track to ecological implosion and in full agreement that we will carry on doing pretty much nothing to avoid it.'Global warming is a “serious long-term challenge” requiring“resolve and urgency”, declared the Group of Eight countries on Friday...
...Simon Retallack at the Institute for Public Policy Research in the UK says: “It is welcome that the communiqué accepts the science of climate change.
However, it contains no new targets or timetables or even in-principle support for binding limits on greenhouse gas emissions. This is essential if we are to drive the large-scale, near-term deployment of low-carbon technologies.”' - Link
