Copenhagen Climate Change Conference--Success or failure? [1]

Additional image:: 

The Copenhagen Climate Conference and its Copenhagen Accord have generally been regarded by the press as a failure. I think this is a very unfortunate mischaracterization. The conference was a failure only in not achieving binding commitments to reduce global greenhouse gas emission levels sufficient to meet the requirements identified by the some 3,000
leading global scientists of the United Nations Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to avoid disastrous consequences such as sea level rise leading to massive population displacement, food disruption, water shortages, tropical disease migration, and destruction of biodiversity.
