The Theater of Climate Change
Abstract
In a season of failure the United Nations’ climate change initiatives have suffered yet another serious blow. On Feb. 18 the U.N.’s top climate change official, Yvo de Boer, announced that he would resign his post before treaty negotiations resumed later this year. The announcement climaxed a series of developments that demonstrated that the climate change movement is still in “free fall” since the debacle in Copenhagen last December. Unless the movement can somehow find a diplomatic parachute on the way down, a hard and perhaps fatal landing seems inevitable.
