Copenhagen negotiations ‘suspended’




Looks like all the devel­op­ing coun­tries have ganged up on the devel­oped coun­tries in Copen­hagen:

Nego­ti­a­tions at the UN cli­mate sum­mit have been sus­pended after devel­op­ing coun­tries with­drew their co-operation.

Del­e­ga­tions were angry at what they saw as moves by the Dan­ish host gov­ern­ment to side­line talks on more emis­sion cuts under the Kyoto Protocol.

While it’s not exactly what I was hop­ing would de-rail the sum­mit, at least some­thing is stop­ping — at least tem­porar­ily — the insan­ity that is global warm­ing talks.  Appar­ently the Dan­ish gov­ern­ment drafted some papers that are actu­ally ben­e­fit­ing the devel­oped coun­tries over the developing.

I hope the dis­agree­ments and dys­func­tion at the “sum­mit” con­tinue.  We do not need to enter into a mean­ing­less agree­ment that will end up tak­ing more of our sov­er­eignty away and giv­ing it to the U.N.  If you’re not famil­iar with what I’m talk­ing about, go watch this.
