...people around the sites several times a day between now and when the Falls come down on October 13. If you're familiar with The Maid of the Mist, the boat that tootles around Niagara Falls, you've got it pictured, though Eliasson's city-cousin cascades are nowhere near as mighty as the Niagara...

Without near-term goals, a promise to cut emissions four decades in the future is virtually meaningless.
