This weekend we had the completion of the COP/MOP UNCCC Conference on climate change.The reporting and commentary is predictable in that the MSM and the environmental lobbyisits are citing that there is an extension of Kyoto and that there are effective emission reductions to be realised.

Fitzsimons says "The UN's climate change summit in Montreal finished yesterday with all countries, including the US, signing up to an agreement to continue a unified global approach to tackling the issue.
"The Kyoto Protocol is still alive and is only going to get stronger from here on in," Ms Fitzsimons says.
"Even the United States has now recognised that the damage that climate change will cause will be so great that humanity must take collective action. No nation state is now trying to pretend it isn't happening."

Now it is easy to be confused as the reporting in the MSM is restricted by both the limited intellect of the reporters and those reading and commenting on it.

This is easily understandable as I think that there may be only 5 people on the planet who can understand the gobblydook technospeak that the EC and UN beaureucracy has prescribed in the agenda and working parties.

First let us look at some of the press releases and decisions.


Modalities, rules and guidelines for emissions trading
under Article 17 of the Kyoto Protocol1

.....
(f) It submits the supplementary information on assigned amount in accordance with
Article 7, paragraph 1, and the requirements in the guidelines decided thereunder and makes any additions
to, and subtractions from, assigned amount pursuant to Article 3, paragraphs 7 and 8, including for the
activities under Article 3, paragraphs 3 and 4, in accordance with Article 7, paragraph 4, and the
requirements in the guidelines decided thereunder.
3. A Party included in Annex I with a commitment inscribed in Annex B shall be considered:

.....
(a) To meet the eligibility requirements referred to in paragraph 2 above after 16 months
have elapsed since the submission of its report to facilitate the calculation of its assigned amount pursuant
to Article 3, paragraphs 7 and 8, and to demonstrate its capacity to account for its emissions and assigned
amount, in accordance with the modalities adopted for the accounting of assigned amount under Article 7,
paragraph 4, unless the enforcement branch of the Compliance Committee finds in accordance with
decision 24/CP.7 that the Party does not meet these requirements, or, at an earlier date, if the enforcement
branch of the Compliance Committee has decided that it is not proceeding with any questions of
implementation relating to these requirements indicated in reports of the expert review teams under
Article 8 of the Kyoto Protocol, and has transmitted this information to the secretariat;
(b) To continue to meet the eligibility requirements referred to in paragraph 2 above

Well now that is clearer and understandable lets look at the decision from CP11 and see where the longterm solutions are so prescribed.

Yes and agreement to discuss and talk and confuse.A success claims the Environmentalists and the EC beaureaucracy no suggests others the changes are in afforestation and technology transfer and new technology and NUCLEAR FUSION.Yes there is to be enhanced funding of the ITER

Joint Press Release
TWELFTH ITER NEGOTIATION MEETING
Jeju, Korea, 6th December 2005

Delegations from China, European Union, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation and the United States of America gathered on Jeju Island, Korea, on 6th December 2005, to complete their negotiations on an Agreement on the joint implementation of the ITER international fusion energy project.

http://www.iter.org/

ITER is the experimental step between today’s studies of plasma physics and tomorrow's electricity-producing fusion power plants.
It is based around a hydrogen plasma torus operating at over 100 million °C, and will produce 500 MW of fusion power.
It is an international project involving The People's Republic of China, the European Union and Switzerland (represented by Euratom), Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, and the United States of America, under the auspices of the IAEA.
It is technically ready to start construction and the first plasma operation is expected in 2016.

Yes the old double bluff they could not see the carbon for the trees,

The greens and environmentalists have been saying Kyoto is the only game in town.

It is not the 6 country agreement ,the G8 initiative are also ,when people play big boys games remember hey use big boys rules!
