Boston Globe reports that, despite pledges by their governors, New England states and eastern Canada have not lived up to promised CO2 reductions. They're being called on it by an environmental advocacy group that's laid out a 10-point plan to get them there. We'll see. . . . Here's something that may help. MA is retrofitting school buses to get emissions reduced 90% in 3 years. Not that small a step, all things considered. . . . Remember when we expressed a wee bit of skepticism that EU demands that airlines doing business there must cut emissions would face a wee bit of problem? From a wee bit of a nation that will get a ginormous amount of the blame for the crap coming down? We just hate saying "told you so" . . . well, actually, we don't. We're just getting warmed up.
