COP18 in Doha and “hot air”

There can be few things more wasteful than this. And all  for a hypothesis which cannot be proven and is increasingly looking like “hot air”. 

The annual climate jamboree  is about to start for 17,000 participants!!!!!

This from the BBC

  • Doha climate talks: Will ‘hot air’ derail the process?
  • More than 17,000 participants are expected in the Qatari capital Doha for the 18th Conference of the Parties (COP18) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
  • Qatar, rich in oil and particularly gas, has some of the highest per-capita carbon emissions in the world.
  • One of the concerns is over “hot air” – several EU countries were given huge allowances of carbon permits that they want to carry over into a new commitment period. But the scale of the surplus, some 13 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide, could render future promises to cut carbon effectively meaningless. (Note that cutting Carbon itself is pretty meaningless)
