Actual package not expected from Cancun climate summit

Cancun, Mexico is the site of an international climate meeting that began Monday. Most analysts don’t expect the Cancun climate summit to result in a severe international understanding on how to package with climate change. The failing of the United Nations to achieve any progress on climate change has resulted in a loss of confidence among participating countries the agency can continue to be effective on the issue.

Avoiding climate change for a while

What the world will do with climate change may be determined by the Cancun climate summit. Any kind of repeat of last December's Copenhagen climate summit may be good. There will very likely be less done about climate change. The carbon emission issue was ignored with the last-minute non-deal that came with the Copenhagen Accord. Since nothing has been prepared for climate change, the Copenhagen Accord doesn't really matter. There were not any needs for mandatory emissions reductions added; it just said that developed and creating countries have to share plans for climate change.

A lot more worried about who did it rather than the way to repair it

Some kind of treaty at the Cancun climate summit are very unlikely. A legally binding climate change treaty will not come from it. The deals at Copenhagen made by China makes the United States of America blame China. Of course China claims otherwise. Based on them, the Unites States is to blame. The carbon emissions crisis came from somewhere else if you ask creating countries. They say developed countries have to solve it as it came from years of industrialization. All the developed countries want a compromise. This way not too much is expected. Both developed and undeveloped countries have lost confidence within the ability of the United Nations to play a meaningful role.

China really doing things while the United States of America is a lot more interested in politics

China has been working with clean energy even though the Copenhagen Accord failed. China is now the world’s largest manufacturer of solar panels and wind turbines. Also, clean coal technology and efficient nuclear reactors have come from the country. The United States of America won't be able to do anything with the Cancun climate summit thinking about the Republican House changes totally in 2011 while the United States U.S. senate stopped the carbon market to curb emissions.
