31st January deadline COP15 now dropped
So much for progress on climate change

Let's see if Obama and his cronies China, Brazil etc. who cooked up this crock, post reduction targets by the 31st or put off their targets to a later date!!!

The UN has dropped the 31 January deadline by which time all countries were expected to officially state their emission reduction targets or list the actions they planned to take to counter climate change.

1. I never expected anything, so this isn't a real disappointment for me.
When India and China discussed "intensity" reduction I knew that we were going to get nothing.

2. Ah, the joys of abyssmally low expectations!
It's about the only way to avoid disappointment with politicians.
