Treaty Delayed
Many world leaders now want the Copenhagen treaty to be delayed until 2010. This is crazy. We need a binding deal so we can all lower our emissions. Instead of procrastinating on making a good deal, we should just get it over with. Climate change is here. Nevertheless, many leaders think that a climate deal can be put off for later. We need to get it done now.
