When meeting with Brazil, India, South Africa and the "800 pound panda" in the room, parting as "frenemies" is the best you can do?
Seriously?
Obama's announcement came after this week's radio program from Living On Earth had been finalized and recorded... Same thing at CleanSkies TV: The environmental news feed had finished streaming for the week, and wouldn't be there with coverage or commentary until Monday, December 20.
But speaking of the week's weak achivement, the Guardian's headline had an different point of view... Low targets, goals dropped: Copenhagen ends in failure - Deal thrashed out at talks condemned as climate change scepticism in action
After eight draft texts and all-day talks between 115 world leaders, it was left to Barack Obama and Wen Jiabao, the Chinese premier, to broker a political agreement. The so-called Copenhagen accord "recognises" the scientific case for keeping temperature rises to no more than 2C but did not contain commitments to emissions reductions to achieve that goal.
American officials spun the deal as a "meaningful agreement", but even Obama said: "This progress is not enough."
"We have come a long way, but we have much further to go."
The deal was brokered between China, South Africa, India, Brazil & the US, but late last night it was still unclear whether it would be adopted by all 192 countries in the full plenary session.
We are stardust, we are golden,
We are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
