The change you hope in Copenhagen is not forecast.

It seems that the more you know the more you are confused. Those articles are embedded with many complex models symbolic of science, and those meetings or talks are filled with high-sounding reasons to pass the buck when it comes to emission reductions. I hadn’t realized that the difficulties in climate change talks could be so briefly and clearly explained till I finished this piece. This comment was translated by Lin Fu.

It always spurs the need for growth growth growth! But as the article mentions, the cold war has shown that it is difficult to find an alternative. How will we fashion our economies if not with capitalism?

Likewise concerning workers' rights and of course legal compliance and financial probity. China has chosen not to do so. Similarly, clean technology is not supplied to China largely because China has chosen not to respect intellectual property rights.
