Hi, would someone give me a hand with the following question? Thanks.
Leaders of the world�s major economies pledged to combat climate change Wednesday -- but they did not set specific targets for reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions.
The economic powers -- including several developing nations -- did not go as far in their climate change statement Wednesday as the G-8 did the day before.
Could someone paraphrase the above second sentence, "The economic powers -- including several developing nations -- did not go as far in their climate change statement Wednesday as the G-8 did the day before"? |

That means that they did less job than the others.
That they discuseed less questions than the others did.
The G-8 went far the day before with the problem and the economic powers didn't go so far.
