Copenhagen: Greenpeace strongly condemned the arrogance of the heads of state from the world's most powerful countries for presenting a 'take it or leave' deal to the Copenhagen Climate Summit. Whilst en route to the airport they claimed the deal was done, it was not. All they left was chaos and confusion in their wake.
In its statement, Greenpeace pointed that the accord does not contain strong measures for emission reductions in developed countries.
"It is a major concession to climate polluting industries, especially in the fossil fuel sector which lobbied hard to undermine a deal and now has a license to continue to pollute," according to Greenpeace.
"Although negotiations will continue next year, the loss of the 'legally binding' objective made the Copenhagen Summit a huge missed opportunity", the statement reads
