NOT ENOUGH....'Come on People More Concessions'

Temperature warning as Copenhagen climate deal emerges

A deal appears to be in sight for the final day of the UN climate change talks but there are fears it may not prevent a 3C (5.4F) temperature rise. (What is the point if not to slow temperature rise??)Denmark's prime minister spoke of "very fruitful" talks as Copenhagen prepared to receive US President Barack Obama and 118 other world leaders.
Both the US and China, the two largest emitters of greenhouse gases, have indicated they may make concessions. It is hoped these may help overcome sharp divisions at the two-week talks.

The proposals on the table - especially from industrialised countries - fall far short of what the world needs. China signalled concessions on the monitoring of emission curbs while the US said it would commit money for developing countries. Denmark's Lars Lokke Rasmussen called late-night talks with a group of 26 influential world leaders on how to unblock negotiations.
"We discussed how we can make progress and we had a very fruitful, constructive dialogue... for almost two hours," he told reporters.
After the leaders left, their aides continued working on a political agreement for them to inspect later.
"We tried to find an umbrella political accord, if you like," said Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, who also holds the rotating presidency of the European Union.
"We tried to advance the main points and have asked the 'sherpas' to work on the text through the night so we can discuss them tomorrow morning."

In another development, President Obama may reach an agreement in principle on nuclear arms reduction with his Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev, when they meet in Copenhagen on Friday, a senior US official said.
Despite many expressions of concern about projections of climate change, finance has emerged as an issue more likely to make or break a deal than emission pledges.

After all the haggling ,the agreement will fall far short of what is needed to save the planet. Can you believe that politics, egos and money have turned these talks into an excercise in futility??

How can they not realize what is at stake?? Our future and our very existence is in the hands of fools, as usual. God, Allah, Budha help us.
