What Mark Carney, the Pope and all the others are shutting their eyes to is that the binding climate treaty they all want simply isn't going to happen. This is not just because all the horrors the BBC and the Met Office keep warning us about are failing to appear. The crucial reason why there will be no treaty (other than a meaningless fudge) is that those developing countries, led by India and China, are not going to have it. Even the EU, which has long boasted that it is leading the drive to secure that new treaty, has lately dramatically changed its stance. As pointed out by Dr Benny Peiser of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, the EU is now prepared to pledge a 40 per cent cut in emissions by 2030, but only on condition that any Paris agreement is legally binding on all countries. --Christopher Booker, The Sunday Telegraph, 4 October 2015https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_wcs2015-header-0.jpg
