Copenhagen – failure and fudge

A huge opportunity has been lost and the leaders of the free world should resign in disgrace at the pathetically weak and unenforceable “agreement” reached at the climate summit in Copenhagen last week. Unless nation states take it upon themselves to curb CO2 emissions over the next decade we are consigning our children to a legacy of climate change disasters that will seriously impact their way of life if not their very wellbeing. Characterised by shambolic organisation on the part of the host nation Denmark, world leaders have attempted to dress the conference up as a model of global cooperation whereas it is in fact a failure that will do little to reduce the exponential rise in atmospheric CO2 that we are currently experiencing and has set us on track to levels as high a 700 parts per million by the end of the century.
