They would argue that science loses to politics. However, I did not have the same despairing attitude as I witnessed the encouraging moment when the EU pledged "support" at the meeting and the US vowed to "join the consensus." It is true that the Bali meeting results were not perfect. However, it is a good start showing that compromises and flexibility in negotiations can be achieved. I hope these practices will continue to further negotiations and make it possible for an effective framework to be outlined in 2009.

We of the post-industrial age, including today's Chinese, seem however to have only just realised that nature blends things together rather than conquering them. Mankind is on an absurd course of development: grinding poverty, the conquest of nature, economic development, environmental degradation, economic stagnation. We are just going round in circles and the ecological world will never be the same again.
