Europeans are buying bigger and bigger cars, offsetting their other reduction efforts.
The Wall Street Journal had an interesting report on Jan 20th about how despite being focused on carbon emissions reductions, Europeans are buying bigger and bigger cars, offsetting their other reduction efforts. In fact, the European Commission’s president, who’s been giving stump speeches about climate change, drives a Volkswagon Touareg SUV, which emits 1.6 times the average level of CO2 for new European cars.

They are still doing much, much, much more than the US….
What kind of a commitment is GW Bush’s G8 statement “we will seriously consider cutting emission by 50% by 2050″? That means we are going to do nothing.
