COP15

Now in Copenhagen towards the end of the day in the Bella Center, where the COP15 climate meetings are taking place. What's most interesting right is outside of the Center. A large protest downtown is apparently moving towards the Center. Should be fun.

There hasn't been a lot yet accomplished, at least on the other side of closed door sessions. Standing in the cold in line for my badge, I read through the draft text of the Working Group (.pdf) and pretty much anything of dispute remains in brackets, which is how a treaty text says that some part of it is still under dispute. Targets, timetables, money, demands on developing nations, demands on developed nations. All in brackets.
