Global storm brews in Copenhagen
December 19th, 2009
Copenhagen’s 192-nation global warming negotiations were suspended Monday over disputes between rich and poor nations about how much each should reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and how much money developed nations, like the U.S., should pay developing countries, like China.
The deadlock is bad news for global warming zealots, big-corporate profiteers and control-seeking governments. For everyone else, it’s probably as good as the news will get from Denmark’s two-week powwow, if it means no imposition of economy-sapping caps on greenhouse gas emissions. Source
