Report from Bonn climate talks: "In a race to the bottom, nations seemed to compete on who could commit to less in terms of mitigation and adaptation...no one (other than Norway) talked as if they had any money for tackling climate change"

The private sector could help tackle climate change. What a pity it's left out in the cold - Comment - Voices - The Independent

...I attended the
latest round of climate talks in Bonn, Germany.  Some 200 nations were represented and continued to negotiate some form of a binding climate change agreement due in 2015, to cover the post-2020 period.
The Bonn talks concluded on 3rd May and were true to style: nothing happened.
...In a race to the bottom, nations seemed to compete on who could commit to less in terms of mitigation and adaptation, while the blame game continued unabated (“You caused the emissions”, “but yours are growing faster”, “ah yes but I am a developing nation”, etc.).
...no one (other than Norway) talked as if they had any money for tackling climate change.
