Copenhagen climate summit in disarray after 'Danish text' leak

TALKS at the United Nations climate change conference in Copenhagen have broken down over leaked documents indicating that wealthier nations would be given more power in future climate change negotiations.

The documents seem to allow a handful of rich countries to have larger emissions and more control over future talks within a "circle of commitment" and have enraged delegates from developing countries.

The US, UK, and Denmark are among the countries included in the so-called "Danish text."

The document also sets unequal limits on per capita carbon emissions for developed and developing countries in 2050; meaning that people in rich countries would be permitted to emit nearly twice as much under the proposals.

The secret draft agreement worked on by a group of individuals known as "the circle of commitment" - understood to include the UK, US and Denmark - has only been shown to a handful of countries since it was finalised this week, The Guardian reports.

The agreement, leaked to the paper, is a departure from the Kyoto protocol's principle that rich nations, which have emitted the bulk of the CO2, should take on firm and binding commitments to reduce greenhouse gases, while poorer nations were not compelled to act.

The draft hands effective control of climate change finance to the World Bank; would abandon the Kyoto protocol - the only legally binding treaty that the world has on emissions reductions; and would make any money to help poor countries adapt to climate change dependent on them taking a range of actions.

The document was described last night by one senior diplomat as "a very dangerous document for developing countries. It is a fundamental reworking of the UN balance of obligations. It is to be superimposed without discussion on the talks", the paper reports.

Meanwhile, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will attend the summit's second week, as will US President Barack Obama.

The Guardian has not stated whether Australia is among the countries included in the "Danish text".

  • what happened is you got OWNED NWO

  • The whole climate arguement is a sham devised to hide the developing one world goverment. If they simply set-up the OWG and started taxing everyone the world populations would revolt. Instead they're using the climate scheme to get started then they'll develop other shams and start creeping into our lives for total control.

  • Obama isn't embarrassed, he and the EPA have just pasted regulations on CO2 gas emissions that take effect July 2011. These laws will affect 15,000 businesses. It just goes to show that if this Socialist president is not allowed to make laws he will use side tracks and pallor tricks to force American's to lose their rights. We need to stop Unconstitutional abuses in our , the United States of America.

  • Wonder what the folks in DC think of global warming right now...

  • Gotta laugh at Obama promising Billions to poorer nations when America is TRILLIONS in debt,whose great great great grandchildren will nver have a hope in hell of paying off, a multi trillion dollar debt owed to China! seems China now owns America,thanks to Obama,but Obama is still talking like America is a wealthy country! ask all the MILLIONS of Americans who lost their homes in foreclosure,or lost their jobs,who pretty soon will lose their welfare payments,if they think America is bankrupt!

  • OMG why are conservative americans so easily manipulated by media. Climate change is no BS.. wake up.. your politicians and favorite industries have to adapt, but influencing the media and politics is cheaper that is why you are being convinced that climate change is not real.. \\go to college and take some climate classes!

  • Well it's looks science finished here, thanks to Al Gore and our sympathy for droning polar bears . Now it's the money talk . All hopes now that American Congress gonna shovel c02 bill to Obama's one place ......

  • there's no consensus on the science ! wake up people! research the ratio of real scientists and the ones supporting it. the cru emails aren't enough? STOP NWO!

  • I think the best way to reduce carbon emissions in the west is to have an immigration moratorium. Statistics clearly show the USA population grew by 100 million in the last 40 years and nearly all the growth was due to immigration.

    The west could drasically reduce carbon emissions with a reduction in immigration and population and would have nearly stable growth in the USA with a moratorium on immigration.
