This line from an AP report today is a gem:
Talks on a global climate deal hit a snag Monday when developing countries walked away temporarily from the negotiations, fearing industrial countries were backpedaling in their promises to cut greenhouse gases.
Riiiiight. Developing nations were concerned about GHG emissions, and not the smaller sacks of climate cash.
Also from this report:
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe was among the first heads of state to arrive in the Danish capital, avoiding a travel ban imposed by Western nations because he was attending to a U.N. conference. Mugabe was to address the conference Wednesday.
“The meeting may be taking place on Danish soil but we’re playing by U.N. rules and these rules mean that all the world leaders can meet,” Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen told reporters.
Hopefully, we can find and post the video of Mugabe’s speech.
