Bush Climate Plan Said Too Little, Too Late

A US plan to cap greenhouse gases by 2025 was dismissed as too little, too late by some delegates at 17-nation climate talks in Paris on Thursday while others welcomed it as a first firm US emissions ceiling. On Wednesday, US President George W Bush unveiled a plan to halt the growth of US emissions by 2025, toughening a previous goal of braking the growth of emissions by 2012. The United States and China are the top emitters.
