The Theater Of Climate Change, Richard Faulk
The Theater Of Climate Change, Richard Faulk
Richard Faulk
President Obama's unilateralism promises nothing to avert planetary disasters, and since the fabled “green economy” is, at least presently, an elusive myth, one can only conclude that there must be another agenda: wealth redistribution for its own sake. If any other result is intended, it has not been credibly articulated. Unless a realistic, reliable and transparent program for replacing our wealth is created, siphoning current resources will diminish and ultimately extinguish American prosperity.
The Winter Of Our Discontent: The Impact Of Copenhagen's Failure, Richard Faulk
The Winter Of Our Discontent: The Impact Of Copenhagen's Failure, Richard Faulk
Richard Faulk
Far from treating climate change as a “universal” problem that transcends national boundaries, the Copenhagen conference devolved into a frustrating exercise in nationalism, where individual nations, or groups of nations, tried to satisfy their particular needs, as opposed to redressing global climate problems. Now that Copenhagen’s uproar has faded, it is appropriate to evaluate the consequences of the conference’s failure for American industry.
The Copenhagen Accord And The Future Of The International Climate Change Regime, Francesco Sindico
The Copenhagen Accord And The Future Of The International Climate Change Regime, Francesco Sindico
Francesco Sindico
This paper analyses the environmental integrity, the nature and the political relevance of the Copenhagen Accord. According to the first two parameters, the Copenhagen Accord is not satisfactory. From a political point of view the conclusion is slightly different, albeit not positive. This paper concludes arguing that after the Copenhagen Conference the future of the international climate change legal regime is likely to be more fragmented, the Accord being one further piece of the global carbon puzzle.

China In Context: Energy, Water, And Climate Cooperation, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Climate resilient communities can be achieved with the support of global research, development, deployment, and diffusion of environmentally sound low GHG emission technologies and processes. Technology cooperation should lower emissions remaining mindful of biodiversity, ecosystem services and livelihoods. China and the United States need to respond effectively to both economic and climate crises and can do so in part by cooperating on environmentally sound technology that transforms the global use of energy.
