at 55 degrees and 43 minutes north, the winter sun sets early in Copenhagen, plunging the city into a cold grey gloom that only Christmas celebrations can lift. But on Sunday, the chilling news that climate change talks could break down completely spread far deeper dismay in the Danish capital.

Negotiators and ministers from 192 countries took the day off from formal talks to discuss the looming possibility that they could fail the world in its search for an equitable and scientifically adequate agreement to prevent disastrous climate change. The chances of a stalemate loomed large as governments went into informal huddles over the weekend.

The ministerial round that began on Saturday only added to the fear that industrialised countries were not ready to budge from their stands and the negotiations were headed towards a collapse.

I thought Pres Obama had a deal with Prime Minister Singh and Premier Wen?

Then you have this major ignorant, asshole going on his own to Copenhagen:

Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., who has called global warming a "hoax," plans to travel this week to Copenhagen. He'll stay just long enough — as few as three hours, he says — to tell heads of state that the Senate will not pass an energy bill that would limit greenhouse gas emissions.

"We know (the bill) is never going to go to a vote," Inhofe said in a recent interview. "It's dead. It's gone … I'm not going to allow them to think America is going to do something it's not."
