There is an agreement. But it is a facade. After a long night of fights, and big statements 
exhausted sleep of many delegates, at 3:30 this morning it was decided not to vote on every point, as a policy he wants, but to express a little binding "take note ". This form does not bind any country and it is only confirmation that what happened in Copenhagen travagliatissimi these days was recorded. Obligations. Without sanctions. No limits. The text that has long circulated a revised draft was submitted by Denmark (apparently under U.S. pressure) with minor changes only yesterday from the meeting held behind closed doors Obama with the prime ministers of China, South Africa and India. An attempt, to Obama, not to completely fail the summit but at the same time, not to take (given also the paralysis of the internal policies) placed a commitment. I wait for the debate last night saw the strong opposition of the small states, with the islands of Tuvalu in my head that said "so you kill our people." The more fierce, as other have in recent weeks has been the Sudanese delegate, representing the G77, Lumumba who described a similar course of action "similar to a holocaust in which our people will go for incineration."

A acccordo, fifths, that is not an agreement. A view taken of acts that others had long expected. Already by the second US-China summit had shown the will of a political agreement, which actually took place. Important result because the admission of the problem by the U.S. and the opening of a negotiating table with India and China are big steps forward. But not enough to avert the problem. So see for the umpteenth time a binding commitment and stalls giving climate change an opportunity to further intensify the effect. This "agreement in Copenhagen" at the end, nothing engages and requires nothing. A sheet of paper full of many words, those same words that Obama said he had sold out to make way for the facts, just hours before. The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, groped for the summit, or perhaps to save face, given his complete lack of weight in the international environment, said immediately after "taking note" that "in no time will make the agreement binding. " What scares you the "short time"!
In the next hours to form on this blog details and analysis on the points of the agreed non-binding.
