It was exciting following developments at COP15 via Twitter last night—the first time I've ever been glued to the computer for news.
New Scientist did a great job of on-the-spot coverage (though I imagine this link won't be useful for long).
At one point I was watching a live webcast of the proceedings, marvelling both at the fact that I could, and that any progress is ever made through such a tortuous process.
Useful coverage in the New York Times (albeit US-centric).
And this, no doubt the first of many critiques of the accord.
My favourite tweet of the night, from @newscientist immediately after Obama's announcement of five-nation deal: "G77 block of poor nations crying murder over Obama's climate "deal". EU not signed, back in negotiations. Obama has left the building."

Copenhagen has failed. The UN has failed to address the most important crisis in human history. This is now the time for sanctions, boycotts and embargoes. A new alliance is needed. An alliance of hope and peace and justice must be built to oppose the axis of pollution, extinction and self destruction.

Can't disagree with you there, Canada Guy—COP15 has not come up with the deal that the world needs, or even anything close.
ReplyDeleteInteresting post, especially when the Copenhagen process seemed to (heavily) underline the lack of power of third-world nations.
Where to from here is indeed the question—for individuals, NGOs and communities as well as for nations. These are interesting times.
