Thanks to Kevin Rudd and his voters, the US has lost a key ally in resistance to Kyoto.

But interesting article in Der Spiegel, the German magazine, indicates that the US might be trying to discreetly come to an agreement with China and India in Bali to not come to an agreement on future climate talks.

When did America become afraid of the future? It saddens me. We see danger where we should see opportunity and hope.

Officially, the US government says it wants to push in Bali for a climate protection "road map." But SPIEGEL ONLINE has learned that this may not be true. US government officials are already attempting to coordinate with China and India to prevent binding emissions limits.

Well, said. Perfect really.

But the answer is unfortunately that the wrong people will not be the one reaping benefits rom those opportunities. The winners would be creative companies and individuals and not the big corporations.
