Why Copenhagen doesn’t matter

The Copenhagen climate summit was a disaster, we are told. But for whom? I suspect that the corporations of the world will, treaty or no treaty, keep on making the world cleaner as long as they think there’s money in it. And we the public will continue to recycle, because we prefer to live in clean surroundings.

Therefore, the summit was a disaster only to politicians, who think things only happen when they get involved. Besides, the meeting was mostly about who should give money to whom, anyway, so no reason to get our knickers in a knot.
