‘Okoljski’ vrh Evropske unije bo, nedvomno, kar koli so se predsedniki vlad in držav že in se danes še bodo zmenili, velik korak v pravo smer. Predsedujoča, nemška kanclerka Angela Merkel, tako pravi:

What has been agreed is a massive step forward from whatever point of view you take. /…/ We talked about specific obligations - increasing energy efficiency, bio fuels, renewable energy. There is a need for further discussion on these three areas.

Predsednik evropske komisije Jose Manuel Barroso obožuje velike korake in ‘posebne zaveze’, prav tako pa očitno rad gleda svet z malo višjega položaja vsaj, kadar se vozi.

Jose Manuel Barroso’s four-wheel drive emits far more carbon dioxide than the EU’s own targets for vehicles. But Mr Barroso says comments about his environmentally damaging car smack of “overzealous moralism”. /…/ But he has defended his choice of a Volkswagen Touareg, a model that emits around 350 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre driven. The amount is well above the 130 grams per kilometre target set for all cars on Europe’s roads by 2012.

Kadar politiki govorijo o velikih korakih, me, nenevarnega kakor sem, prime, da bi pograbil pištolo, ki je nimam. Ostane mi tipkovnica, za komentar. Ki ga kajpak veter odnese bogve kam. Toplogredni plini ostanejo.
