Climate Talks Process

Talks such as these should continue as we are a World community and what affects one area or region can and does affect others or everyone. Their focus should be more on just what is happening as to global warming, i.e. climate change, in the different area's on the planet.

The innovation and development of cleaner energy sources and cleaning up the environment should be looked at as the obvious, now long overdue, natural advancement of the human intellect that advances us as well as the planet.

Another disappointment at climate talks

Jan 26 2011 - Environmentalists disagree on whether there is any future left for the UN climate talks process as presently structured

The latest round of UN climate talks held at Cancun in Mexico before Christmas had nothing of the fanfare that surrounded the previous year’s summit at Copenhagen.

If those talks in the Danish capital in 2009 were over-hyped by governments, campaigners and the media, there seemed to be an unspoken agreement between all parties this time around to mute expectations.

Which is probably just as well, because the Cancun talks brought us no closer to a binding international agreement to curb climate change than did the failed Copenhagen conference.

There was an agreement but it was limited in its scope and concerned mostly with restating the need for action and setting up committees and ‘frameworks’ to deal with particular aspects of the problem. {continued}
