CLIMATE TALKS IN GERMANY GOING BACK ON COPENHAGEN!

THIS IS GRRRRRREAT NEWS:

BBC: Climate change talks 'backslide' at Bonn
Developing countries have promised to slow the growth of greenhouse gas emissions

Global climate change talks have moved backwards since last year, say negotiators from both rich and poor nations at discussions in Germany.

The US envoy said some countries had "walked away" from commitments made at Copenhagen last year to contain greenhouse gas emissions...

... Negotiators are working towards the next climate summit in November.

There is one last preparatory meeting, in Tianjin, China, in October, to draft a negotiating text before the summit in Cancun, Mexico.

"At this point, I am very concerned," said chief US negotiator Jonathan Pershing at the conclusion of a week of talks in Bonn.

"Unfortunately, what we have seen over and over this week is that some countries are walking back from progress made in Copenhagen, and what was agreed there."

IF CLIMATE CHANGE WAS THE IMPENDING CATASTROPHE THEY CLAIM IT IS, THEN THEY WOULD BE TELE-CONFERENCING INSTEAD OF JETTING ALL OVER THE FREAKIN' GLOBE!

IOW: AGW = TFBS.
