In his diary today, The Cunctator gave us the skinny on Copenhagen Day Three: Tuvalu, Sarah Palin, And ‘Crazed Hitler Youth’ : “At this morning’s plenary session of the Copenhagen climate negotiations, the tiny island nation of Tuvalu called for strengthening the Kyoto Protocol to limit warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, rather than the current standard of 2 ° C. Their proposal to amend the Kyoto Protocol with a new, legally binding agreement to set a target of 350 ppm of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere fractured the session, as Tuvalu was supported by other small island states and poor nations in Africa, but was opposed by fifteen richer developing nations, including Saudi Arabia, China, and India.” • • • • • • • Green Diary Rescues appear on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
