Climate change ratings

Is it surprising that the U.S. ranks near the bottom of the list of countries fighting greenhouse gas emissions? Of the 56 nations that are ranked by the Climate Action Network-Europe, Sweden is ranked #1 while the U.S. wallows around at #53. Ouch!

Christoph Bals, political director of Germanwatch, said policy had an enormous effect on the rankings. "The U.S. could move up 30 spots if its policies were akin to the U.K.'s", he said. Time for a change. (USA Today)
