The BBC says:

Leaders from the world's religious traditions have signed a manifesto urging tough action on climate change.

Around 1,000 delegates are meeting at the Interfaith Climate Summit in Uppsala, Sweden, at the invitation of the Swedish church.

The manifesto, signed by 30 religious leaders, calls for "rapid and large emission cuts in the rich world".

It argues in favour of a reduction in carbon emissions of at least 40% by the year 2020.

Another example of "do as I say, not as I do". They probably could have cut their own emissions for 2008 by 10% by not flying across the world to attend this meeting. It's not as if they even have an excuse to attend this meeting, since they have zero scientific expertise. Of course we expect religious leaders to be utter hypocrites.
