False Alarm

Copenhagen panic is premature 4
Posted 2 days, 21 hours ago There's a chance that, with luck and skill, a climate-saving deal can be reached at the Copenhagen climate talks. And a salvageable deal, even if it's far from perfect, is still is a lot better than the doom that was so widely pronounced at the start of the week.
It ain't over yet

Rumors of Copenhagen’s demise have been greatly exaggerated 2
Posted 4 days, 16 hours ago Is a "politically binding" climate treaty really the best we can hope for out of Copenhagen? Is it over before it's begun? Despite what you may have read in the U.S. media, the answer is "No."

Delaying an international climate treaty: not as bad as it looks 27
Posted 5 days, 5 hours ago The big news this weekend was that a coalition of world leaders made it official: there will be no full-fledged, legally binding agreement out of the Copenhagen climate talks. Instead there will be what's being called a politically binding agreement, pledging to work out a full agreement in 2010 -- "one agreement, two steps." This was Denmark PM (and Copenhagen host) Lars Lokke Rasmussen's way of salvaging a half-win from what was threatening to be a total loss. Of course opponents of climate action are portraying it as a disaster that augers the death of UNFCCC process; they do that with every setback or delay. Climate activists don't seem to have decided quite yet what to think about it. My take: it's not as bad as it looks.
