India's Ramesh: Gloomy about climate hoax deal in 2010; blames Guardian leak for Copenhagen failure; sharply criticizes US

Copenhagen destroyed by Danish draft leak, says India's environment minister, Jairam Ramesh | Environment | guardian.co.uk

The Copenhagen conference was destroyed from the start by the leak of the "Danish draft" negotiating text to The Guardian, the Indian environment minister said this weekend in a warning that the breakdown of international trust would continue to undermine climate talks this year.

Ramesh was not optimistic about the prospects for progress. "I don't see 2010 being any different from 2009. There are certain key triggers for success that I don't see happening," he said, noting "disappointing" US efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, uncertainty about a promised $30bn in climate aid for the worst affected nations, and the absence of efforts to reduce the "trust deficit."

He was also scathing about reports that the US will not provide climate funds to countries such as Ecuador and Bolivia that failed to sign up to the Copenhagen accord.

"Here you have an agreement that frankly has no legal status. It is useful, but you cannot use the Copenhagen accord to impose your will on the rest of the world," he said. "Especially by a country that was party to the Kyoto protocol and never ratified it."
