The (by now) infamous paragraph of 2 degree temperature change, states that signatories "would enhance long-term cooperative action to combat climate change". What would you enhance upon my dear, you have not even met the kyoto accord?
No timeline mentioned in that para and no need for inspection regime.
Lets come down to the next paragraph, this talks about need to cut emissions to go to 50% percent. This is a reiteration but that point is used to side-step the peaking year issue.
Next paragraph talks about adapting to changed climate and developed nations would help without specifying any pledge.
I hate to say this document don't even qualify as a declaration.
We were one step up and this has taken two steps back.
Fossil fuel industry wins again, Obama is nothing but a show-boat.
Obama's actions have proved him to be as pro-oil as a Neo-con.
Copenhagen has failed. The UN has failed to address the most important crisis in human history. This is now the time for sanctions, boycotts and embargoes. A new alliance is needed. An alliance of hope and peace and justice must be built to oppose the axis of pollution, extinction and self destruction.
