Climate talks are 'rigged'...
The Bali climate talks are 'rigged', says George Monbiot. The fundamental flaw in the debate: governments aren't discussing limits on the supply of fossil fuels. It's one thing for us to consume less (I.e. reduce demand). But the problem is 'if fossil fuels are extracted, they will be used'.
Sounds to me like a global Addicts Anonymous meeting where everyone shares their story but it's taboo to talk about the drug dealers and producers!
P.S. Here in Moldova, the winters are a LOT warmer than they used to be, yet somehow climate change isn't really on the public radar. Lots of BMWs about the place, too, but I'm yet to see a (Toyota) Prius hybrid.
