Obviously, this possible shifting of target dates is something that Boulderites who are interested in climate change issues should keep a close eye on. If anyone knows or finds out more about this, I encourage you to speak up here or in our Forum. This definitely warrants public discussion Again, there will be a City Council study session on April 8 where Environmental Affairs will submit recommendations on this and other matters concerning Climate Smart. Study sessions generally aren't open for public comment, but they are open to the public, and it would be an opportunity to learn more details. We will be following this closely. Thanks, and I hope to see you on this site again. Please let people know what we're doing here and that anyone is welcome to participate in whatever way they find comfortable. - Amy Gahran Thanks, Tom.

We worked hard to get 202 passed at the ballot box with promise that we would strive to meet the UN goals. 1. If we are abandoning Kyoto, let's come right out and say it rather than couching it in obfuscatory language like "we're looking to longer time horizons". 2. Give the climate activists in the city every chance to keep us on track before the ClimateSmart office makes this unilateral decision.
