Never in the field of Climate Chaos has so little been achieved by so many

From Hope-nhagen to Nope-nhagen in one short week.
What a shabby affair last week in Copenhagen has proved to be.
A once in a lifetime chance to grasp the opportunity of seriously tackling the problems in store for the whole planet has been let slip.

True, it did agree that we should work together to keep the global temperature from rising more than 2ÂșC above the levels before the industrial revolution, but who should do what, how this would be enforced, and what the timescale would be... er...!

It is hypocritical of the industrialised Western states to blame China, and to lesser extent India, after all much of what China produces is exported to the West and is in fact substitute production for the West.

We must continue to put pressure on our own government, as well as our European and Atlantic allies to take the problem seriously and get round the negotiating table as soon as possible.
