Non-binding preamble

The world may think the Bushists just gave in on global warming and emissions targets. Huh-uh.

Those targets remain in the agreement — including a possible cut in emissions of up to 40 percent below 1990 levels by rich countries by 2020, and a 50 percent cut in emissions globally by 2050 — but they are now a footnote to the nonbinding preamble, not a main feature of the plan.

"Put Hans back on, Ellis. You have no idea what kind of man you're dealing with, but I do."
