Copenhagen 2009: Can a deal be done?
Danish prime minister Rasmussen must now be concerned that a deal on climate change may not be done in Copenhagen this month. In Asia, APEC leaders have bluntly stated that a negotiated deal on climate change is impossible in Copenhagen but likely much later; China is not keen to cut carbon emissions; the Africans boycotted the climate change talks in Barcelona complaining the West must do more to cut greenhouse gasses; and America merely wants to be part of a "framework agreement" on climate change for now. Is Denmark's well-touted meeting doomed to fail like the Kyoto Protocol?
