The United Nations climate change summit at Copenhagen drew to an unsatisfactory close last night, with negotiators only able to secure a non-binding agreement between the developed and developing nations. President Obama said that a “fundamental deadlock in perspectives” had overshadowed the negotiations. He said that a climate deal had been reached with India, China and South Afrrica, but admitted that it was not enough to fight global warming. He added: “We have much further to go.” In its statement, released at 10.30pm the White House described the agreement as meaningful. “No country is entirely satisfied with each element but this is a meaningful and historic step forward and a foundation from which to make further progress,” it said. Commenting on the draft Copenhagen Accord, the Greenpeace climate campaigner Joss Garman said tonight: “This latest draft is so weak as to be meaningless. It’s more like a G8 communiqué than the legally binding agreement we need. “It doesn’t even include a timeline to give it legal standing or an explicit temperature target. It’s hard to imagine our leaders will try to present this document to the world and keep a straight face.” Busted Obama, could'nt get the world to carry his water, i'm sorry what was that a year ago, we'll change the world.....well the world has given his answer and the first word begins with an F, the second word is You.
