A delayed-run morning, for reasons of heavy sleet.
Josh Garman of Greenpeace has written an excellent summary of the three main sticking points at the Durban summit –
Kyoto, the Green Climate Fund, and signing of the next agreement. Progress on
all three issues is being blocked, most spectacularly and influentially by the
Obama administration, despite his green rhetoric. They have until December 9th
to avoid another fiasco.
Meanwhile, back in the UK, “Snake Oil” Cameron, who also
wooed the voters with promises of the greenest
government ever, is accused of
leading the coalition on a path to
becoming the most environmentally destructive government to hold power in this
country since the modern environmental movement was born (ref).
Actually, that’s not quite true. He is accused of being led down that path by
the odious George Osborne, which is probably worse.
