My comment on Pachauri was slightly mistaken. Rajenda Pachauri, the chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, told reporters that "if there's no action before 2012, that's too late. What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment."

1) Reducing the 3% per year increase in CO2 emissions we've seen this decade to 0% by 2015.
2) An 80% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050.
3) An eventual return to CO2 levels of 350 ppm--well below the current level of 388 ppm.
