Well now Gordon Brown has gone half way between his first pledge 20% to 30% cut in emissions by 2020. That could mean that USA may do the same, I wonder if India will be happy? Has UK paved the way for Obama. I expect so at a guess Obama may say in the same context 35% cut in emission?

Britain will provide £1.5 billion towards a three-year fund to help the poorest countries adapt to the effects of climate change, the Prime Minister has announced.

The money will form part of a £6.5 billion “fast start” fund agreed by EU leaders at a European Council meeting in Brussels today.

In a press conference following the summit, Gordon Brown also confirmed that the EU will offer to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent by 2020 if other countries are willing to commit to ambitious reductions at the Copenhagen climate conference.
