Comment on: G8 "Scorecards" Released: USA Disappoints

the World Wildlife Fund and SE- Allianz released their 2009 “G8 Climate Scorecars” report, ranking the energy performance of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the UK and the US. Based on three categories—”Improvements Since 1990″, “Current Status”, and “Policies for the Future”, each with specific areas for potential growth, the 8 countries were ranked based on a “stoplight” system. No country received a green light for its overall performance (half got red lights), and the tone of the report was disappointment—Although the WWF applauded efforts of top ranked countries, never did they cede that any G8 country has reached its goals or is prepared for the future.
