Climate Officials Making Plans To Make Plans Print E-mail

Those global warming folks sure do like warm weather destinations, meeting 3 months ago in Bali, and now this week in Bangkok. Starting today in Thailand, The UN Climate Change program is holding talks to begin the formulation for negotiations for post-Kyoto regulations. Yes, that's a mouthful.

According to Reuters, they are meeting to plan the schedule of further meetings that will culminate with the final meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2009.

No major decisions are likely from the Bangkok talks. We don't understand why things have to move so glacially. We propose changing the definition of "glacial" from being synonymous with really slow, to quite fast. Considering scientists are predicting the Himalayas, the water source for three-quarters of a billion people, could be completely melted in decades, we hope this serves to light a fire under their ice caps.

Important issues will be discussed, eventually. Under Kyoto only 37 major economies were required to reduce their emissions, called Tier 1 nations, while everyone from Zambia to China were Tier 2 countries and basically didn't have to do much. But since then China has assumed the title of "World's Biggest Emitter" from the U.S., and India and Indonesia are in the top 10, emerging economies will likely be forced into some third tier where they take on some responsibilities.

Hi, We're EnviroWonk

Yeah, OK, we can be the change that we want to see in the world. But unless powerful people in powerful positions want to be that change as well, nothing's going to change.

So now, finally, there's a place where you can go for news and analysis of politics from an environmental perspective.
