(Bonn, Germany)
UN climate talks have hit a stumbling block that some delegates say poses a serious challenge to their already slow-moving attempt to craft a global response to climate change.That's a shame.
As the latest negotiation session ended on Friday in the German city of Bonn, one track of the talks was paralysed by a request by Russia, Ukraine and Belarus to review the decision-making procedure in the two-decade-long UN process.
Decisions in the UN climate discussions are supposed to be taken by consensus, but it’s not totally clear what that means in practice. While many agree the decision-making procedure needs to be clarified, they worry that the issue could deadlock the talks at a time when urgent action is needed to tackle climate change.
“If we’re not careful, it could collapse the whole system,” said Ronald Jumeau, a delegate from the Seychelles.

I think I'm already shedding my tears. I think reality has murdered this particular attempt at genocide through social justice. Those fuckers will be back, dressed in some other king's invisible clothing.
