Doha Climate Summit Ends In Disgrace
At the end of another lavishly-funded U.N. conference that yielded no
progress on curbing greenhouse emissions, many of those most concerned
about climate change are close to despair. --Barbara Lewis and Alister
Doyle, Reuters, 9 December 2012
The United Nations climate talks in Doha went a full extra 24 hours
and ended without increased cuts in fossil fuel emissions and without
financial commitments between 2013 and 2015. However, this is a
"historic" agreement, insisted Qatar's Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah,
the COP18 president. --Inter Press Service, 10 December 2012
Climate negotiators at the most recent conference on global warming
were unable to reduce expectations fast enough to match the collapse of
their agenda. The only real winners here were the bureaucrats in the
diplomacy industry for whom endless rounds of carbon spewing conferences
with no agreement year after year mean jobs, jobs, jobs. The inexorable
decline of the climate movement from its Pickett’s Charge at the
Copenhagen summit continues. The global green lobby is more flummoxed
than ever. These people and these methods couldn’t make a ham sandwich,
much less save Planet Earth. –Walter Russell Mead, The American Interest, 9 December 2012
