President Obama Delivers Too Little-Too Late Speech at COP15 | Green Media News

As I type this I’m sitting in the alternate meeting location established by the conference after the NGO’s were shut out of the Bella Center the other day. There’s practically no-one here. Watching the live feed from Bella, there’s practically no-one there either. People have already started to lose interest, they have begun to fly home.

At the end of the COP15 conference, there was no agreement to reduce GHG emissions down to a CO2 concentration of 350 parts per million in the atmosphere. No provisions to protect indigenous peoples, women, or youth from the devastating impacts of climate change. And as the conference was brought to a close, and the NGO’s and youth groups and women’s advocacy groups were finally given the opportunity to address the United Nations, presenting signed petitions and draft documents like “The People’s Agreement on Climate Change” the camera panned the empty hall at Bella, and everyone left watching now knows the same inconvenient truth: the leaders are all gone, and the conference is over, and nothing really happened here in Copenhagen except a whole lot of hot air.
