Earlier today, I saw a presentation by Anthony Cary, the British High Commissioner to Canada. He was talking about why this recession has involved less of a diminished interest in environmental protection than previous ones, as well as about the upcoming climate change negotiations in Copenhagen.
Detailed notes from the presentation are on my wiki, along with notes from other presentations on climate change.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford.
Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.

The Brits delegation in Ottawa are so obviously poseurs. They are obsessed with gossip. A friend of mine had the occasion to talk seriously with a staffer there, who instead spent the entire luncheon talking about a politician’s social life. Climate change should be their focus, not useless personal inside the beltway drivel.
Richard you have your rumours that nailed. Anthony Cary is interested in carbon and dirt and not necessarily in that order. This is why no one takes the issue seriously.
