World leaders bashed over Copenhagen Accord
 

While critics saying that it definitely isn’t and shouldn’t be the case, world leaders insisted that the climate deal completed at the UN summit in Copenhagen was “the best that can be done.”

Critics, publications and influential organizations are branding the summit to be a failure, and people such as a Nobel Peace prize-winning panel are insisting that urgent action must be done to correct it.

US president Barack Obama admits during his return to the White House that “extremely difficult and complex negotiations” had been necessary in Copenhagen, and that Americans “will have to build on the momentum”, suggesting that the Copenhagen climate deal may sound insufficient, and that there really is work to be done.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel also comments that the Copenhagen deal is “a first step toward a new world climate order, nothing more but also nothing less,” according to a statement she has given a news publication. “Those who are only putting Copenhagen down are helping those who want to blockade rather than move forward.”

The Copenhagen Accord only passed the summit using a procedural motion, after approximately two weeks of intense negotiations, giving the public an overwhelming feeling that world leaders have just decided “to settle for an insufficient agreement” just to reach an internally viable compromise. The Accord had also been tagged to exclude the poor, and may just lead the world to a massive climate change.

    The Copenhagen Accords are unbinding and unapproved by any meaningful majority of nations from the conference. But the failure of the UN effort shouldn’t stop businesses and corporations from acting on their own.
