The Winter of Our Discontent: The Impact of Copenhagen's Failure

Richard Faulk, Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP

Abstract

Far from treating climate change as a “universal” problem that transcends national boundaries, the Copenhagen conference devolved into a frustrating exercise in nationalism, where individual nations, or groups of nations, tried to satisfy their particular needs, as opposed to redressing global climate problems. Now that Copenhagen’s uproar has faded, it is appropriate to evaluate the consequences of the conference’s failure for American industry.
