Environmental groups are criticizing new draft agreements presented at a United Nations (UN) climate summit, saying they won't do enough to combat the threats of climate change as participating countries fail to come to a consensus.
Vanessa Perez-Cirera, the head of the World Wildlife Fund's (WWF) delegation to the conference, which is being held in Madrid, on Saturday called the latest draft "weak" and "shocking."
“The extremely weak draft decision text made available this morning is shocking, especially in regards to climate ambition. We are in a climate crisis - references to enhancing climate pledges.... in 2020 are desperately needed in this draft text and they have been virtually eliminated," she said, according to the WWF. "This version of the draft text is unacceptable."
It was also criticized by Alden Meyer, a policy and strategy director at the Union of Concerned Scientists.
“I’ve been attending these climate negotiations since they first started in 1991, but never have I seen the almost total disconnection we’ve seen here ... in Madrid between what the science requires and the people of the world demand, and what the climate negotiators are delivering,” Meyer told The Associated Press.
“The planet is on fire and our window of escape is getting harder and harder to reach the longer we fail to act,” he added.

Like a disco inferno.
Liberals always scream crisis. If they believe its urgent, let them front their money for it and leave the rest of us out of it.
Since we’re all gonna die in 11 years anyway, what’s the hurry?
Line ‘em up against the wall! Am I right, Pippi?
“The planet is on fire”
I thought that was snow coming down outside, it must be soot.
“what the science requires”. What a meaningless statement.
To save the planet we must rid it of climate changers
lol
..We are in a climate crisis...
I dunno. I’m pretty comfortable right now. How about you guys?
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire...... Okay DOOMERS!
lol
To make them happy about their deaths we’ll use them for mulch :)
What the hell is a climate negotiator?
Just think how many billions of tax dollars our terrific President has saved the USA! Uncle Sam has stopped being Uncle Sap.
The liberal settled consensus... is the liberal settled consensus.
We weren’t party to it. And who’s the “we” you speak of, kemosabe liberals?
Also, real science is never definitive.
They’re ruining my life...
[[ participating countries]]
participating countries” Who has participated? Noone is complying with anything they’ve set forth yet- and they know it- this is a stinkin farce- designed to clean America out of our funds- while the rest of the world ignores the regulations (Which wouldn’t amount to a peehole in the snow even if they all complied)- plain and simple
[[What the hell is a climate negotiator?]]
Mafia boss
Drop a MOAB on this commie “conference” and be done with it!
A shakedown artist.
Hmmm. Well, 34 outside with 60% chance of snow overnight. 68 and sunny inside. So, we’re good. Guess the climageddonists don’t get it yet. The powers that be will keep talking a good (?) game and promising stuff but keep getting slush funded and they really know where there muffins are buttered so no actual action. Grrrrrrrrreta will not be pleased.
Which is why they're call the agreement weak.
The Climate Nazis haven't found their 'Hitler' who can give them their 'final solution'.
