Too much fluff…

Sigh it’s Friday night and I don’t have strength to rant but don’t be fooled by the Copenhagen love in, the deal’s not that great…

The so-called Copenhagen Accord offers money to developing nations to help them fight global warming, and requires they agree to open their books to international scrutiny.

But it is not binding and it does not set new greenhouse-gas reduction targets, only a hope to limit the temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius. Instead, countries are to set their own emission reduction commitments, which would not be bound by law.

I bolded the not binding part, that alone is enough to call the summit a failure at least I think so.  Tough decisions and actions are required from everyone on the planet.
