Climate summit agrees draft document on climate change

Delegates from almost 200 nations at the UN climate change summit in Paris have reached a draft agreement on how to move forward on the issue.

The text, which runs to 42 pages, was approved on Saturday after four years’ work that started in Durban in 2011.

It presents options for dealing with everything from the long-term goals of combating climate change, to financial assistance for developing nations that will need help to move away from fossil fuel.

“There’s a broad political will to come to a global agreement here in Paris and that is good news,” said Martin Kaiser, Head of International Climate Politics at Greenpeace.

“What is still missing in the text is a clear vision to go 100 percent renewable energy by mid-century, which gives us a chance to help those who suffer from catastrophic climate change.”

To draw attention to what they see as the time pressure on the issue, campaigners led by Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, have installed twelve mini-icebergs in the shape of a clock in the Place de la Pantheon.

The blocks of ice were brought all the way from a fjord in Greenland in temperature controlled containers.

Maybe "Oxygen Thievery" will actually become a crime.

Seriously scary...

Me too, but it's never discussed.

Most of the decisions surrounding climate extortion are apparently birthed in oxygen depravation.

It is a good step towards addressing the problem.

The solution to Global Warming / Climate Change is relatively straight forward. Not at all scientifically complex or even economically complex. The politics for now remains unsolvable.

You get one brain dead blogger with absolutely NOTHING to do with science and every demented right winger leaps onto it like it is spun gold. Totally ignoring over 120 years of accepted knowledge on the science. All funded by Corporations that profit from polluting fossil fuels of course. How people can be fooled by this Climate Denier gibberish is beyond me.

The effects of Global Warming / Climate Change are only slight at the moment. As the Climate changes more and weather events become more extreme people come around. One thing mankind has always preferred is learning lessons the hard way.

The Nigerian scammers could learn a lot from these charlatans.

A charlatan (also called swindler or mountebank) is a person practicing quackery or some similar confidence trick in order to obtain money, fame or other advantages via some form of pretense or deception.
