Climate talks in danger - Cape Times | IOL.co.za

At a straight-talking press briefing, the EU said it would be prepared to go it alone for a second commitment period of Kyoto Protocol – only on the strict proviso that all other nations, rich and poor, establish a road map which would lead to all countries committing to a legally-binding framework to cut greenhouse gas emissions. This must be reached by 2015 and come into effect by 2020. The groundwork was to be laid here in Durban.

...Referring to the death of eight people in Durban on Sunday in violent storms, Chruszcow said: “Last night, we had tragic evidence where people lost their lives because of torrential rain.

“There is no more time to debate … If we don’t take urgent action, in five or six years it might be too late

    Just imagine if, hypothetically, it had been revealed that the BBC had been quietly paid by the oil industry to shoot down AGW theory through sponsored seminars, vetted scripts and the exclusion of green activists from the airwaves. Or that it had been paid to promote in similar fashion the agenda of American neoconservatives, or bankers and hedge-fund managers, or UKIP, and correspondingly keep critics of the neocons, bankers or UKIP off the air. Does anyone think that following such revelations not one word would be published elsewhere – or would there be absolute uproar?

    Merely to pose the question is to realise just how complete is the rout.
