LOL! Yep, a hard-fought, far-reaching accord to start negotiations on something to take effect in 2020 and won’t compel emissions targets! Only cost tens of millions of dollars for these useless eaters to meet in the fun and sun to arrive at this momentous agreement! AND they can keep on meeting until at least 2020!
‘Oh, and the “The good news is we avoided a train wreck,” said Alden Meyer, recalling predictions a few days ago of a likely failure.’ Well, in that case I’d hate to see the results they consider to be a train-wreck!
“Durban Platform” — sounds like the greenie-weenies realized the most they could hope for was a “platform” for continued propaganda campaigns..... they could not come away with Durban with nothing in hand, but at least this does not seem to make for any binding commitments on anyone.
Kyoto will expire with nothing ‘real’ to replace it, I suspect.
The US and Canada will not sign on (let’s hope!), China and India will not make any concessions, and EU publics will start to figure out that nothing they do can really affect “the problem” even if all is as the greenies perceive it. The whole b.s. will continue to unravel gradually because the UN types cannot allow any explicit acknowledgement that CAGW is b.s. and has always been b.s.
