Global Warming - Again??

Post by fountainhall »

The Panama Canal is closed for the first time in decades because of too much water in the lakes. Paris is hit by its biggest snowfall ever. 420 kilometers of traffic are jammed around the capital. And wikileaks reveals how the US, the world's biggest historical polluter and long isolated as a climate pariah, pressured other countries to tone down the way global warming issues are tackled.
The US diplomatic cables reveal how the US seeks dirt on nations opposed to its approach to tackling global warming; how financial and other aid is used by countries to gain political backing; how distrust, broken promises and creative accounting dog negotiations; and how the US mounted a secret global diplomatic offensive to overwhelm opposition to the controversial "Copenhagen accord", the unofficial document that emerged from the ruins of the Copenhagen climate change summit in 2009.
