Developing countries react furiously to leaked draft agreement that would hand more power to rich nations, sideline the UN's negotiating role and abandon the Kyoto protocol.
First the leaked e-mails and now this. They will be scrambling to sweep it all under the carpet.
The so-called Danish text, a secret draft agreement worked on by a group of individuals known as "the circle of commitment" – but understood to include the UK, US and Denmark – has only been shown to a handful of countries since it was finalized this week.
The document is also being interpreted by developing countries as setting unequal limits on per capita carbon emissions for developed and developing countries in 2050; meaning that people in rich countries would be permitted to emit nearly twice as much under the proposals.
As mentioned above, developing countries are reacting furiously to the leaked “text.” They arrived hoping for huge monetary handouts. After all, that’s what happens when socialists get together - the poor and lazy are rewarded by the fruits of the labors of others.
In this case, the poor countries are out of luck. It’s survival of the fittest ... make that survival of the richest. Actually, there is no difference is there?
The following sentence is all you really need to know about the text:
Few numbers or figures are included in the text because these would be filled in later by world leaders.
The photo above shows a man watching an animated projection showing the different acidity levels of the ocean. But just wait until Al Gore arrives with his books and movie ... but just a minute ... Mr. Gore cancelled his appearance at the Copenhagen global summit ... he won’t be there.
