Tuesday brought some interesting news from Britain as it unveiled its climate change bill, making it the first country to propose legally binding targets for cutting carbon dioxide emissions.

The CBC explains…

Environment Secretary David Miliband says the bill aims for a 60 per cent reduction of the greenhouse gas by 2050 and an interim reduction target of between 26 and 32 per cent by 2020. And if the government fails to meet its targets — all compared to a 1990 baseline — it will initiate legal proceedings against itself.
