I think we all knew things were going down the proverbial toilet when a Danish memo leaked that supposedly already had plans drawn up, plans drawn up without the assistance of any other country, much less developing nations. This was followed by a EU promise of 7bn. euro towards a “climate fund”, again the developing nations cried foul, stating that it “wasn’t enough”. then Bangladesh, one of the countries that is viewed most at risk by climate change, demanded a plurality of any of the money spent in climate change. All this lead to a secession of talks as members of the G-77 (From South Korea, to small poor African nations) walked out, demanding that earlier Kyoto goals be enforced. And so, we are at an impasse. Any hope for a solution at this conference or any time in the near future is now dead. See you at cop16.
