Gaseous Emissions Ongoing
COP-16 is finishing inconclusively,
as expected. Individual
countries may take action on their own, but it's a mixed bag at best, and
subject to shifting political fortunes. The annual conference, in Cancun this year, is held under the auspicies of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which has
urged the member nations to adopt more binding protocols to address the inevitability of climate change.
While success in herding the nearly 200 national cats remains elusive, the UNFCCC has produced a great web site with lots of material as well as
a nifty on-line tool that provides graphical displays of greenhouse gas (GHG) data displayed on a map of the world.
Very educational stuff, but some refuse to be educated, alas.
