The Copenhagen Summit &#8220;noted&#8221; the last minute agreement that was reached between the US, China et al but, like most of the important decisions, the detail was left out. <\/p>\n<p>A deadline was set for filling in the blanks, like how much emissions should be cut by. We want the European Union (EU) to offer a <strong>carbon emissions cut of 30% on 1990 levels<\/strong>, and to move to <strong>40% as quickly as possible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Any casual observer can see that the whole <strong>climate change process needs reinvigorating <\/strong>after the hammering it took at Copenhagen. The EU needs to make this pledge to inject some momentum into the process and send a message that this year, they mean business.<\/p>\n<p>So, <a href=\"http:\/\/sandbag.org.uk\/notdoneyet\">let the EU know that you want some real carbon emissions cuts this year<\/a>, so we get the fair, ambitious and binding deal we\u2019re still waiting for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Copenhagen: Not done yet The dust has now settled on the massive disappointment that was the UN Copenhagen Climate Change Summit.
