Perspective on G8

Its interesting that the US and Russia, one of the largest GHG emitters and a big oil supplier, seem to have a missile crisis of Eastern Europe. It is also interesting that prior to this the US announces that it will define its GHG targets by end of 2008. Delaying tactics? The missile crisis, puts some pressure to the summit to resolve the security issue and not on GHG caps. It would not be surprising, if only a vague agreement on emission limits would be attained. Citizens from the G8 countries should see beyond this on pressure their governments to act for the good of the whole human race and not for short term economics. US citizens should also pressure the Bush administration to comply to the UNFCCC scheme immediately, lest some half measure be put in place by the end of 2008.
