Joe Biden’s climate plan will do ‘virtually nothing’

Wall Street Journal OPINION DECEMBER 12, 2011

Global Warming and Adaptability Any carbon deal to replace Kyoto would have a negligible impact on climate in coming decades.

This Friday, world leaders and their entourages will disembark from carbon-spewing jets in New York to sign the world’s costliest climate change treaty. Lit by the flashbulbs of the world’s press and warmed by their sense of accomplishment, these politicians will pat each other on the back and declare a job well done.

The reality is that the so-called “Paris Treaty” is a hugely expensive way of doing very little.

I joined Sky News Australia earlier today to discuss Joe Biden's climate policy proposals and commitments to net-zero emissions from politicians around the world.
