China and India Agree to Join Copenhagen Accord

By all accounts, last December's climate change conference in Copenhagen was a near total failure, with only a non-binding protocol by which nations agree to "take note" of global warming and submit their plans to reduce carbon resulting from months of planning. Absolutely disappointing! In spite of the extremely soft language in the protocol, it took nearly three months for China and India to even agree to be listed as "taking note" of climate change. What good gobal citizens they are!
