...most of it will never be enacted. Big oil and coal will see to that. Secondly, I doubt the BRICs and other developing nations are going to drastically slow their economic development, simply because we and the Europeans got "religion" so to speak. Sorry to be such a downer, but we've heard these words over and over and over and over and over and over again for 25 years now, and the only thing that's slowed the annual increase in global CO2 emissions during that time was an economic crash. I'm kind of tired of words and empty promises we know can't be kept. I don't believe them anymore.
