RE:'Let me be clear: we do not expect countries like India and China to take the same commitments we do. But we do expect them to de- couple energy consumption and growth, in line with our common but differentiated responsibilities,' he said.'
And how, pray tell, does one 'de-couple' energy consumption from growth? This is just about as silly a demand as I have ever seen fall from the lips of any politician. The Chinese and the Indians will both rightly assume that he is playing to European politics and very carefully ignore this statement.
