For those calling for rapid reductions in CO2 emissions, the result in Doha can only be described as an utter disaster. The Doha agreement will do absolutely nothing to curb CO2 growth, let alone cut net CO2 emissions.
One reason is that few countries are left taking part. Online FOCUS magazine reports only a few countries have signed on to extending Kyoto I, which FOCUS calls a “minimal compromise�. Only 37 of 194 countries signed on. That means the treaty is internationally non-binding.
The only thing that is certain is that there are going to be many more climate junkets in the future, wasting more taxpayer money.
The left wing TAZ reports that these 37 countries are “responsible for about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. And it still remains open how high the planned reductions will be.� Those that signed on to make reductions couldn’t even tell us how much.

Dave,
As usual, you don't have a clue, and your title is wrong as nearly 200 countries have approved the extension as per their UN delegates. Your German link doesn't support your title of your post and the extension IS legally binding as per my link from the BBC. You are full of it, nine ways to Sunday...
