The G8 Leaders expressed their high regard for US President Barack Obama citing his “intelligence, openness, and vitality” and collectively suggested that dealing with President Obama is a refreshing change from the “typical politicians we receive from America”.
Encouraged by President Obama’s optimism and direction, the G8 Leaders mutually agreed to a 50% reduction in global emissions by 2050, and a potential reduction of up to 80% by the developed nations in the same period.
The G8 meeting is being held in the Italian town of L’Aquila which was devastated by a 6.3 magnitude earthquake last April. Joining President Obama are the leaders of Italy, Germany, France, Russia, Japan, Canada and Great Britain. Chinese President Hu Jintao attended the summit but returned home Wednesday to deal with the Uighur and Han ethnic clashes in China's western Xinjiang province.
