Distinction ditched
It divided the world into rich and poor (Annex 1 and Non-Annex 1, in UN jargon). The richer countries would take on carbon-cutting commitments - the poorer ones would not.
Here in Lima, that old fashioned view of the world was consigned to history, though not without a desperate struggle.
Developing countries resolutely fought to keep this sense of differentiation firmly in the text. They were very upset when the original text about the pledges countries will make next year, used the word "shall".

No one seriously expects the countries in sub-Saharan Africa will have to do the same as the US and the EU. Eventually the "shall" became a "may".

If the envirocommies want to stick it to “the rich”, they need to stick it to “da poor” too! Let’s play “fair” like good little children.
Ditto that.
LMTO...too funny.
You know darn well the US promised bribe money whereever it was needed to get other nations to pretend they support our insane government’s position./
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

So Zimbabwe's thriving industrial sector won't be crippled by carbon emission limits.
What?
“The Lima deal can be seen as a dry run for a much greater Paris compact. Ostensibly it was about how countries should FORMAT their intended national pledges on climate change.”
So the only thing they all could agree on was that each country could pick which fonts they use for their “national climate change pledges”?
[BTW, I read this BBC “climate change” article and I never read a bigger bunch of meaningless gibberish in my life.]
With cheap oil the Greenies are going to lose a lot of ground/go broke on their “alternative” taxpayer subsidized energy sources. The real question is how long will low oil prices last.
Your schpiel is getting old.
Why don’t you just ask, “How the hell is money in the hands of Dictators gonna save the planet?” The planet is just fine. More BS different day.
Every Global Warming thread has your “pay attention” BS.
Sorry, bad day here!
