The Green Technocrat

The Bonn Climate Change Talks, one of the series of UNFCCC conferences that are leading up to the Copenhagen talks (where a new UN protocol will be adopted to replace the Kyoto protocol), ended on April 8th.

Synopsis from UNFCCC:

UNFCCC Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer stated that, with regard to emission targets for industrialized countries, the numbers discussed so far fell well short of the range recommended by the IPCC, and stressed the need for these countries to show greater ambition. He pointed out that developing countries were willing to undertake mitigation actions if the promised financial and technical support were delivered, while some already had climate change strategies in place.
