McCain is saying 60%, Dems say 80%. The other thing to watch for is what reference year they are using (this is also an issue with how corporate targets for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions are set). 60% from 1990 levels is difficult to compare against 12% from 2004 levels. Kyoto gets confusing here too. We need a better way to talk about this stuff. It’s interesting to watch what is happening in the U.S. election around this. McCain is saying 60%, Dems say 80%.
