Kofi Annan on climate change
Annan said "This conference must send a clear, credible signal that the world's political leaders need to take climate change seriously. The question is not whether climate change is happening, but whether in the face of this emergency, we can change fast enough".
This must be one of Annan's last speeches as UN Secretary-General. In that position he is likely to say what he wants to say.
IMO: Annan has probably said the most important thing anyone could say. If only the cheap selfish American politicians, in particular, would take more notice of his call. And with the UK too, it has mainly been only words so far.These people are disgraceful. The human race, if it continues to exist, is unlikely to ever forgive them. Genghis Khan and Adolf Hitler will seem relatively tolerable.
