The latest UN Climate Conference, held this year in Durban, South Africa, has come to an end, finally. It was always going to produce the dramatic, ground-breaking triumphal agreement that "saves tomorrow, today" while allowing delegates to claim, "We have made history."
Walter Russell Mead is less convinced, concluding that delegates merely agreed to keep getting paid by the global climate industry.
Wendell Cox comes to a similar conclusion, but focuses more on environmental improvement strategies that may actually do some good (hint, "Smart Growth" doesn't make the cut).
The big news made was the withdrawal of Canada from the process.
Don't worry, there is always next year, the 2012 Climate Conference will be held in the oil-rich Persian Gulf state of Qatar. It's a small country, so book your first-class plane ticket and 5-star hotel suite early, space is going fast.
