...chance to fully enlist big developing nations like China and India in the fight against climate change. In the weeks leading up to the summit, these countries indicated that they would be amenable to broad, long-term emissions reductions?provided that rich nations agreed to their own short-term cuts. The U.S. (along with Canada and Australia) nixed the idea, and so the developing nations conspicuously did not agree to the G-8's 2050 target...

He has made no change to 12-month price target. Starbucks still has a lot more work to do to prove that it's righting the ship...
