"Madam President, in the wake of Copenhagen, some of us are feeling like the remnants of a defeated army, scattered and demoralised, so I am glad you have raised the standard here and launched a fightback.
But, although you sound upbeat and positive, in practice, a lot of this is based on a wish and a prayer. We are very much dependent upon others to be able to make progress.
I notice that you have talked about revisiting the idea of raising our own target to a 30% reduction. Am I right in saying that you have suggested a new and more subjective formula for applying that? ‘If the conditions are right’, the document says. That is new, I think.
Why is there nothing in the document that analyses the reasons for failure at Copenhagen and suggests lessons? Why is there nothing here that points at the problem of climate-change denial, which is sapping political will? And, finally, why is there nothing here about the need to bring in more business?
There are lots of businesses in Europe that want to work with us on this and, frankly, while I wish you well, and while we wish you well, you need all the friends that you can get."@en1
