Bali, one step forward for the climate?

Tomas Nemecek observes: "As opposed to what sceptics predicted, there was a breakthrough in Bali. True, we still don't have any binding maximum limitations. That will be the topic for Copenhagen in 2009. But for the first time, China and India committed themselves to reducing greenhouse gasses. And also for the first time – though not voluntarily - the USA has agreed as well. It was no accident that Senators Lieberman and Warner of the US Congress have just now brought out their climate-political roadmap of upper limits for greenhouse gas emissions, oriented towards European guidelines. Bali was a precursor to the readiness of the entire world to do something against global warming."
