Something Rotten in Denmark?
Grand Rants ^ | 12-08-09 | Stoutcat

Evidently there is much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in Copenhagen today, as the three main groups attending the “Kool Kids Konference” are all throwing major hissy fits. The Guardian reports:

The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents that show world leaders will next week be asked to sign an agreement that hands more power to rich countries and sidelines the UN’s role in all future climate change negotiations.

...So what to do about this brouhaha? Well, I think the best-case scenario is if the representatives from the developing nations, the developed nations, and the United Nations all leave Copenhagen in a huff and have nothing more to do with such a stupid conference ever again.

I thought Hillary was at a NATO meeting? You could smell that all the way to Copenhagen? Come on Hill, it’s called Massengil.

Fantastic news, con men trying to con other con men. May they all be at each others throats and bring the whole con job crashing down.

'Kool Kids Konference'? Rubbish.

The whole bloody mess is one big Kool-Aid Konference.

Developing countries react furiously to leaked draft agreement...

Other than unattributed comments in the Guardian, has anyone seen this story posted elsewhere?

Otherwise I wonder if this story is just wishful thinking...
(not that I wouldn't like it to be true mind you)

Well, Hotair has it now, so there might be something to it after all: http://hotair.com/archives/2009/12/08/oh-my-copenhagen-rocked-by-draft-agreement-authored-by-rich-countries/

Sadly, Hotair makes reference to the same Guardian article.

I’m just curious if in fact there ARE other countries “p!ssed” - or is it just wishful thinking by the Guardian author?

Here’s hoping for major gridlock in Copenhagen.

Thanks for the link.
