Calderón on the Climate

Calderón says that if the Copenhagen conference fails to deliverable a effective climate-change agreement, he will lead the charge once more in 2010 in the climate change summit in Mexico.

I can't imagine Calderón will actually be eager to impose any added pain on the world economy while in the midst of a very precarious recovery, and it's hard to imagine Mexico, home to roughly 1/60th of the world's population and economic production, will wind up a major voice on this issue. But this is nonetheless an interesting reflection of the differences between the American and Mexican right: the latter has a greater regard for science. I'd say across the board, but at the very least in terms of climate change.
