News, opinion and analysis from the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Debatewise: Stalling in flight. Tuesday, 15 December 2009 at 05:29 pm. Talks only resumed when they were split into two, as the G77 group demanded. But five hours is a long time in the highly pressurised arena of this summit, so there are also now worries about the speed of negotiations, and the hopes of reaching any kind of conclusion as leaders start to fly in from around the world.

News, opinion and analysis from the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Debatewise: Copenhagen Street the latest episode. Wednesday, 16 December 2009 at 06:36 pm. Anybody who thought the Copenhagen climate talks would be boring could not be further from wrong. If you could wash CO2 out of the atmosphere – there’s probably enough soap in Copenhagen to do it.

News, opinion and analysis from the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Debatewise: If things don’t change, they’ll stay the same. Friday, 18 December 2009 at 11:04 am. But why put so much effort into the last 24 hours? Today sees the final sprint to the finishing line to secure a deal. But it’s more a case now of saving face, rather than saving the planet.

News, opinion and analysis from the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Debatewise: Deal, or no deal. Monday, 21 December 2009 at 02:42 pm.
