The Asia-Pacific Partnership for Clean Development and Climate, or, as one blogger put it, APP4CDC, has offered this noble-sounding, if impossibly long, vision statement. Note in the fifith and sixth paragraphs the goal to reduce โ€œgreenhouse gas intensities,โ€ not grossย output.

Reducing per capita greenhouse gas emissions is an essential goal, but if we cannot contain the actual amount of greenhouse gases we loft into the atmosphere, we will continue to make climate trouble that we are incapable of managing. We are – to strain an old metaphor – already โ€œa little bit pregnantโ€ on this issue; itโ€™s time we stopped foolingย around.
