Copenhagen summit: Deal or No Deal?

It is almost the end of the Copenhagen summit. It seems that there is a huge gap between developing and developed countries. Are they willing to compromise and come to a deal? I doubt because each country put their benefit to the first priority.

I do agree that we should try to reduce emission, not just greenhouse gases and CO2, but also a lot of pollution, while there are still doubts and debates about CO2 and climate change. We all know that reduction should not just apply on concentration as those developing countries proposed (kg CO2 e/$GDP), but total amount (kg CO2 e/country) and the other concentration (kg CO2 e/capita and kg CO2 e/km2) should also be a very important standard.

Limiting emission by concentration (kg CO2 e per capita, km2, or $GDP), we can force developed countries such as US, many European countries, Canada and Australia to reduce their emission per capita.

Limiting emission by total amount (kg CO2 e/country), we can force developing countries such as China and India to reduce their emission. Human population is the largest source of pollution and greenhouse gases emission. It is unfair to use per capita or per $GDP to justify the high total amount emission.

And the most important factor if we really want to reduce emission is the full transparency of each country's emission, especially to the countries such as China which lie on many statistic figures.

Deal or no deal? It is on those political leaders' hands, but not on our hands. Sad, but we need to face the reality.

The US insists on transparency
In partnership with other countries, the US will try to mobilise 100 billion dollars a year for climate aid by 2020, according to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The US insists that funding will only be granted if developing countries allow for full transparency of their emissions.

Stalling in Copenhagen: Chimerica Against the World
The Spiegel Online, Christian Schwägerl in Copenhagen, December 17, 2009
China and the United States are playing a decisive role in Copenhagen. Both major powers are accusing each other of doing too little to stop the climate disaster. Europeans and developing nations are demanding the two agree to greater reductions in CO2 emissions. Will 'Chimerica' derail a real deal in Copenhagen?
