Richard North has spotted this, even if virtually nobody else has. The key point, he notes, is the Copenhagen negotiators’ little-publicised decision to save the Kyoto Protocol. This matters because it was at Kyoto that the mechanisms for establishing a global carbon market were established.

By keeping Kyoto alive, the sinister troughers of global corporatism have also kept their cash cow alive.
