sorry, no photos - too hard to insert on the Nokia!
Well, it's now 1107am, and the broadcast shows a melee of back slapping and great goodwill, but of course, nothing's happening. All the delegates are milling about. It allows time for reflection...
I awoke this morning to the BBCWorld report featuring a report from a reporter in Australia: inter alia, "Australians are a nation of deniers and skeptics, more interested in protecting the 'quarry of the world' than doing anything really substantive to address climate change. From its measly 5% taget and failed ETS, Australia slumbers on, while its Prime Minister acts as a Friend of the Chair in COP..." and so on.
So, take THAT, friends and relatives, from the pommies!
Worse than a Fossil, this is a pretty bad blow to our reputation, and I'm afraid it is cutting a bit close to the bone.
Hmm, i'll try to report more positively in the next blog, if the proceedings actually get underway.
