We are please to report that our friends across the pond (the other pond...) have followed our great state in pledging to cut carbon carbon emissions by 80% by 2050. The Guardian reported that the government is taking a serious stand to combat climate change despite tough economic conditions.
Ed Miliband, the new energy and climate change secretary, affirmed the UK's commitment to meeting the recommendations of the government-appointed Climate Change Committee, which called for the UK to reduce its emissions by 80% from 1990 levels for all greenhouse gases and covering all sectors in order to avoid catastrophic climate change.
We applaud their resolve. Now if only the US would follow suit...
