Well, it seems one of our worst environment fears has been confirmed. A climate change treaty will most likely not happen this year. According to UN climate chief, Yvo de Boer, there is not enough time to recover from December’s disappointing summit. He believes more time is needed to establish a framework, as well as financial and climate change aid that is capable of convincing developing countries to even support a deal.

The first is a brief video news report which gives a glimpse into the atmosphere inside the Bella Centre at the UN climate summit. Crowded with government and industry representatives, media, NGOs and activists, there are plenty of theatrics and even more suits and ties among the crowd of 15,000. The physical differences between the official areas of the United States and European Union when compared with those of the developing world are representative of the prevailing cleavages and contrasts we’ve been…
