Is the Copenhagen Cow Gas Accord Just a Cop Out? : TreeHugger

So the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen was a bust, huh? No international agreement to replace the Kyoto Protocol, just a non-binding "Copenhagen Accord" between the United States, China, India, Brazil and South Africa. Nopenhagen, they're calling it. But the United States Department of Agriculture was at least able to ink a deal with 20 other countries. It's called a Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases. A cow-gas accord, if you will.
