Another year and what have we done?

Well pretty much nothing from the so called world leaders. The Copenhagen deal flopped and all the participators left to fire up their think tanks to come up with an excuse! The BBC did an eight reasons why it floundered Click Here.

Denmark went heavy handed into protesters some of which are still behind bars as I write this. The feeling I got was that none of the so called big players wanted to rock the boat during a time of recession and the small players where omitted a voice by a strange and rather rude Denmark government - "Even before the summit began, his office put forward a draft political declaration to a select group of "important countries" - thereby annoying every country not on the list, including most of the ones that feel seriously threatened by climate impacts."

Barack Obama seemed out of his depth on this one and played only a cameo role at the end which diluted the impact of a world congess.

I can not help feeling that until Mother Nature herself turns up and causes a disaster on a scale that wipes out half of the western world people will still go on thinking we have all the time in the world!

We don't!
