There has been so much talk of imposing taxes... especially when it comes to issues like taxing imports that have produced emissions in foreign countries...but yet, very little action!

Now the US team will get invited to the dinners and parties by the euros in place of having to sit at the hotel. The NGO's will even talk to them - just to try to get their hand out first though. Wait until you see the global response - China, India and others will just find a new excuse and do very little except talk. Climate change is real but until some action other than meetings happen I don't have much hope for real progress. Put a tax (enforced) on CO2 worldwide and then watch change take place. Great news!
