Addressing climate change

By Gan Pei Ling

January 18, 2010

WORLD leaders may continue to defend themselves, but it will not change the fact that they failed to live up to the world’s expectations at the 15th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15). Indeed, the Copenhagen Accord — the “deal” that governments agreed to take note of at COP15 — did not spell out the […]

By Gan Pei Ling

January 11, 2010

(Pic by Spekulator / sxc.hu) COP15 was a failure. Does this mean Planet Earth is doomed?

The centre is where the 15th UN Climate Change Conference (COP15) is being held until 18 Dec 2009. Environmental activists, youths, indigenous […]
