CLIMATE scientists and conservationists have demanded we cut our emissions to 25 per cent below the 2000 level in absolute terms by 2020. Ross Garnaut agrees with this target if the rest of world supports such an ambitious agreement. But is it realistic? A 25 per cent cut means total emissions in 2020 need to be 415 million tonnes.
