One Year Left to Tackle Climate Change

Christophe Schoune, Le Soir (in French) | December 19, 2008

Last week’s UN climate conference at Poznan made it clearer than ever that 2009 will be a crucial year in sealing the fate of the planet. ++ The participants showed an egoism and lack of generosity which is particularly incomprehensible in view of the enormous bail-outs which Western governments have granted their banks. ++ The Copenhagen conference in a year's time will define the outcome of the next four decades. ++ There are twelve months left to share out this task and find the finances to finally make peace with the Earth.
