The EU has adopted targets for greenhouse gas reduction and for renewable energy generation, for 2030.

Announcing a target is only the first step to reaching it. It is a good thing that the corrupt EU governments (mainly UK) that serve the fossil fuels were overridden, but they did weaken the targets.

Meanwhile, these targets are insufficient to prevent disaster.

The big question, for civilization, is whether the US, Canada and Australia, effectively subservient to fossil fuel companies, will frustrate hopes for a climate protection agreement in 2015. They have won every time so far.

Success requires cooperation from China, India, Brazil, Indonesia and other major countries.
