Why would UN climate chief Yvo De Boer say this?
My guess he has a partial, but incomplete, eye on the US election calendar, among other things. He recognizes the US Senate won't pass a climate bill until midterm elections. But, will it pass one in its lame duck term? If so, just how weak will it be?
That said, I think he's right that little of substance will come out of the Cancun round, between a mix of the US electoral calendar and continued Chinese intransigence.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
