Climate change: Key needs to put his money where his mouth is

John Key arrived in Copenhagen this morning, and immediately gave a a speech recognising the needs of vulnerable nations, and calling on developed nations to "give a little, so we as a world can gain a lot".

Fine words. But I'd like to see some action. Its easy to talk and call for commitment, but Key needs to put his money where his mouth is and put something on the table - for example, by unilaterally committing to a greater emissions cut than he is offering at present. Until he does that, then this is just more hollow words from a hollow man, who like the rest of them is lying to us.
