Illusive Copenhagen


'Too Few Promises despite aplenty hopes' was what marked the two week long climate extravaganga at Copenhagen early this month. Representatives from around 181 gathered to finalize a deal or at least lay a political framework towards a final deal post Kyoto Protocal which is set to expire in 2012. But, all in vain! Neither a binding deal on strict emission cuts for developed and industralized countries was realized nor any propoer agreement on the right amount of financial flows to be made to the poorer countries was materialized. Once again, politics emegrged invincible against science but at our own peril. The link below directs you the the article that i wrote for MYRepublica, a daily english newspaper in Nepal.
