A climate for change?

The Glasgow summit lumbers on to its final week, most of the leaders having departed.

It is already becoming boring, its mix of gloom and optimism reflected in the debating rooms and on the activist-crowded streets through the country.

Soon we will get a final communique which will satisfy nobody but merely reflect the complexity of it all. 

There will be dubious half promises suggesting progress has been made but the world knows that the next few decades will decide the future and how badly the world will be affected.

The critical question is if the world’s richest nations are willing to - as they certainly could - help save the hundreds of poor nations.
