UN Climate Summit: There Is No Deal To Protect The Future Of This Earth

Have been the  voices of 12 million people for climate justice action been heard?

By Andreas Klamm – Sabaot

Copenhagen/Denmark. December 19, 2009. After about two weeks of struggle with thousands of delegates from around the globe, about 100.000 peaceful protestors, about 1.000 arrested people and 130 world leaders meeting to discuss a possible progress in the future for a change in climate justice action, actually to protect and to save the climate for future generations the outcome of the huge massive meeting as known as UN climate conference or in other words as UN climate summit the outcome and results of the massive gathering are very sad to millions of people in all world.

Especially to about 12 million people which have signed with Avaaz.org a public petition for climate justice action, which might feel like as their precious voices have not been heard and not even noticed.

Have the voices of 12 million people which demanded a change to protect the future of this only one blue planet and earth vanished in the gathering of only 130 world leaders?

After receiving breaking news from the Copenhagen Team of FRIENDS OF THE EARTH, the international organization has issued the news that „Sham Deal Requires Nothing, Acomplishes Nothing“.

FRIENDS OF THE EARTH U.S., President Erich Pica made a statement on the announcement on December 18, 2009 by U.S. President Barack Obama:

"Climate negotiations in Copenhagen have yielded a sham agreement with no real requirements for any countries. This is not a strong deal or a just one -- it isn't even a real one. It's just repackaging old positions and pretending they're new. The actions it suggests for the rich countries that caused the climate crisis are extraordinarily inadequate. This is a disastrous outcome for people around the world who face increasingly dire impacts from a destabilizing climate.

"The blame for the failure to achieve a real deal lies squarely on the rich countries whose pollution has caused the climate crisis -- especially the United States. Rich countries refused to budge from the grossly inadequate emissions reduction proposals they brought to Copenhagen, and they failed to put sufficient money on the table so that poor countries that did not cause this crisis have the capacity to cope with it.

"With the future of all humans on this planet at stake, rich countries must muster far more political will than they exhibited here. If they do not, small island states will become submerged, people in vulnerable communities across the globe will be afflicted with hunger and disease, and wars over access to food and water will rage.

"The devastation will extend to those of us who live in wealthy countries. If we cannot find a way to cooperate with others to produce a real agreement to solve this problem, climate change impacts will devastate the U.S. economy, undermine our security, and inflict irreparable harm on future generations.

"The failure to produce anything meaningful in Copenhagen must serve as a wake up call to all who care about the future. It is a call to action. Corporate polluters and other special interests have such overwhelming influence that rich country governments are willing to agree only to fig leaf solutions. This is unacceptable, and it must change.

"Fortunately, while the cost of solving the climate crisis rises each day we fail to act, the crisis remains one that can largely be averted. It is up to the citizens of the world -- especially citizens of the United States, which has so impeded progress -- to mobilize and ensure that true solutions carry the day. I firmly believe that together, we can still achieve a politics in which climate justice prevails."
