UN chief says "time to deliver" on climate change (AFP) | Yahoo! Green
VIENNA (AFP) - UN chief Ban Ki-moon called for more political will to tackle climate change and urged Israel once again to freeze settlements to revive Middle East peace talks, in an interview with AFP Saturday.

After a disastrous summit in Copenhagen in December, where states failed to agree on a deadline to reduce carbon emissions that cause global warming, a legally-binding agreement on climate change still appeared far off.

"I take climate change as a high priority... (but) when we will be able to have this legally-binding treaty, that depends on the political will of the member states," Ban told AFP in his plush suite at Vienna's Hotel Sacher.
...
The UN chief insisted: "The Copenhagen summit was a success in mobilising political will. The problem... was there was a clear lack of transparency, of full confidence and trust among the member states."

Once again, Cairns Airport demonstrates the problem of cherry picking "data" to support a narrative. Two more representative rural weather stations in this district (Innisfail and Cardwell) - both with much longer data histories - have been passed over, presumably because they support the wrong narrative. Instead, a station which is located at one of Australia's fastest-growing airports, in one of its fastest-growing regional centres - has been selected. Again, presumably because it provides some support for the politically correct narrative.
