Zammit Cutajar uses a cosmic metaphor to describe how a world deal on climate change could develop. “The process of [climate hoax] negotiation is sort of creation in reverse, with the big bang coming at the end.”

The UN's top climate official has said that the richest nations will have to put $10bn "on the table" during the Copenhagen climate change summit.

Yvo De Boer, who will lead the negotiations, said such a commitment was necessary for their success.

Despite his belief that some countries are seeing the economic potential of tackling climate change, Mr De Boer said he recognised that getting 192 nations - from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe - to agree on the issue was "a bit like herding cats".

"You can take one of two approaches, you can either try and herd them from behind with a stick, which generally has them shooting off in different directions, or you can walk in front holding a tasty fish and that will get them to follow you more willingly," he said.

Climate change provokes strong response

If you doubted global warming is a controversial issue all you had to do was look at the comments on the recent article in this space, “Climate change is not an aberration.”

A few agreed with USDA scientist Jerry Hatfield that climate change is real, and we can expect warmer temperatures, rising carbon dioxide concentrations and increased variability in temperature and precipitation.

Others said global warming has yet to be proven and Hatfield’s sharing of the Nobel Peace Prize is no guarantee of his creditability. (One cited Al Gore’s being a Nobel winner as evidence that Hatfield’s arguments may be debatable.)

The responses mirrored those written by National Corn Growers Association President Bob Dickey on its Web site, http://ncga.com. Dickey said the two sides can be divided into true believers and those who call climate change the “biggest hoax ever to be perpetuated on mankind.”
