He noted that in three years, China and <br />India will surpass the U.S. to become the largest producers of greenhouse gases in <br />the world. <br /> <br />Councilmember Starosciak suggested a friendly amendment to revise the <br />resolution wording to adopt a "Citywide greenhouse gas emissions goal" to reduce <br />emissions 25% below 2005 levels by 2020. The amendment was accepted by the <br />maker and seconder of the motion. <br />
