I don’t want to hear about goals out 50 years for climate change and our other environmental issues, decreasing fresh water and farmable land availability, less than a 30 year stock in oil, depletion of fish worldwide, destruction of forests worldwide, global warming approaching tipping point now, etc. Fine to have those goals, but they have to be translated to very near term targets with accountability and transparency. I want to know what commitments are for 2011, 2012, 2013, and up to maybe 2019. There is no accountability with a 50 year planning timeframe. Year over year specific actions, tracking results and focusing on your own country’s contribution, action, and measurable results is what is required. If I hear one more time, I am not going to commit or take action because another country is not committing or taking action yet, it will continue to confirm that we are led by a bunch of kids.
