Cooling climate change

While environmentalists usually finger North Americans as the worst laggards when it comes to imposing carbon limits, it's the shift in Western Europe away from Kyoto-style ideals that has been the most breathtaking. Spain, once heralded as the model for the future of green economies has proposed slashing subsidies to solar and wind power by 30%, and is expected to withdraw financial backing for renewable power plants after economists discovered, too late, that every megawatt of renewable power generated cost five Spanish jobs (Ontario, having cribbed Spain's model, is just now confronting its own electrical cost reckoning). Just 42% of Germans say they're concerned about global warming now, compared to 62% in 2006. And in Britain, the coalition Conservative-Liberal Democratic government has listed climate change initiatives as among the first items targeted for budget cuts.
