Much of it was the poorer (and more vunerable) countries pointing fingers, or, begging the developed ones for higher targets.
What I'm interested in is what do people think was achieved by it?
What should have been achieved?
Did the big polluters (biggest being US/China) give too little?
Or is climate change a myth?
Personally, i'm not surprised things happened the way they did. Nobody wants to give over anything to each other, unless they were forced to, and unless things become dire enough, there's no impetus to do so. Australia, as a small population but big per capita poluter, has domestic political problems in terms of putting in place a solution- it's an issue that has destabalised the local Opposition party and now they won't help pass the targets the government wishes to impliment. Also, Australia's targets weren't that high, and a lot of what is being said from both sides is hypocritical- given the political philisophy of the opposition, and that it supports deregulation, giving massive wads of cash to the big polluters- coal fired power stations- and mining companies- is a joke. There should be NO subsidies to them, give that money to clean power generation (particually solar) and let coal wither and die. And Nuclear is a viable option too given Australia can mine it's own uranium.
If climate change is a myth, why is Australia having strings of 40oc+ days for the first time in recorded history? Why are there serious water supply problems and a lack of rainfall? All the scientific fact points to Global Warming, and anything contradictory is minute in comparison.
