Kyoto Protocol turns 10 in Bali

Olive Heffernan

BALI As celebrations got underway to mark the tenth anniversary of the Kyoto Protocol, disputes over whether its successor will be a bigger, better deal intensified at the UN climate-change conference in Bali, Indonesia.

Over 10,000 delegates from nearly 190 nations are convening on the island of Bali to discuss the details of what should follow the Kyoto Protocol after 2012, and to agree a ‘roadmap’ on how negotiations on the ‘son of Kyoto’ should proceed over the next 2 years.

  • This is a ridiculous show from our governants. They spend the money and time in conferences that reach nowhere important. Humanities doomsday is around the corner, but we will go down still believing in the superiority of the human species and carrying a lot of inocent species to extinction.
