Climate Research News » Copenhagen Post Mortem – Climate Summit Zombie to Rise Again in 2010?

So, where does the failed Copenhagen Summit leave global climate policy? The campaigning environmental extremists will never be satisfied unless the developed world sets a course that returns us to the Stone Age. A switch to mass video-conferencing between world leaders would save money, emissions and energy, with the added benefit of depriving extremist environmentalist protesters of a target venue. A new United Nations-backed conference could be held in Mexico in the first half of 2010, several months earlier than planned, but policies that aren’t politically feasible don’t become more feasible or affordable no matter how many summits are held. Will the world’s leaders finally see the light and use the failure of Copenhagen as a catalyst for a change of direction towards politically feasible policies, or will the nauseating spectacle of the seemingly never ending expensive, hypocritical climate circus world tour simply make its next stop in Mexico?

COPENHAGEN—I arrived at the United Nations climate summit last Friday, near the end of the first week of negotiations, just as the logistical nightmare of cramming 45,000 registrants into a space for 15,000 people was becoming clear.

Unfortunately, I was wrong about being prepared. Terribly, horribly, woefully wrong. Nothing can really prepare a reporter for this experience except actually doing it. Picture the most confusing, bizarre, frustrating, yet exciting experience you’ve ever had, and then triple it. Also, add in a good dose of jet lag and seasonal affective disorder for good measure.

I will be surprised if any future anti-CO2 event ever again has 45,000+ registrants.
