Posted Mon Apr 20 2009: from London Guardian:
China considers setting targets for carbon emissions http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1240242496

Su Wei, a leading figure in China's climate change negotiating team, said that officials were considering introducing a national target that would limit emissions relative to economic growth in the country's next five-year plan from 2011... While that is a minority view and final decisions are some way off, the proposals are striking because they are at odds with China's official negotiating stance.

Maybe leaders who don't take global warming seriously shouldn't be leaders!
