The fine line between ambitious and insane

This is what the EU says it will do:

The deal makes three main promises to be obtained by over the next 13 years:

Greenhouse gas emissions will be cut by at least 20 percent from 1990 levels...

So by 2020, EU members--none facing the geographic realities of distance that Canada does, and almost none the climatic realities we do--claim their GHG reductions will be 20% by over thirteen years.

Meanwhile, our opposition parties voted in favour of Canada's reducing GHG emissions some 35% in five years.

Ambitious? Are they mad?
