The opposite of Green is......Red ? Blue ?

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.
