One of the things that disturbs me a little is that we've spent an awful lot of time talking about this private member's motion that has ambitious targets that are very much in line with some of what science is telling us, but so much political capital is based on negotiating whose targets are better, more realizable, and how we're bringing it together that unfortunately we're not talking nearly enough about that intermediate step of how we're going to get things done. Is that, to your mind, a fair assessment?
