Copenhagen Concludes

Posted on | December 20, 2009 | No Comments

Copenhagen wrapped up over the weekend with, at best, a whimper.  There was no legally binding agreement settled on… about the best that came out of the conference was the fact that the world agreed to “limit the global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius”.  And that’s pretty much it.  Unfortunately, if we want to make this 2-degree-limit happen, our world leaders are going to need to agree to a lot more than just that.

I’m going to go back to sticking my fingers in my ears, closing my eyes and saying to myself, “It’s better than it was four years ago… think of all the catching up we have to do after eight years of inaction… we still have time…”

…Don’t we?
