With just six weeks to go until the Copenhagen climate change conference, hopes to reach a historic deal remain slim with the State Minister for the Environment Gusti Muhammad Hatta saying that each country would remain stubborn. Gusti warned the upcoming climate conference in Copenhagen in December would probably fail to reach a broader global pact to address climate change, largely because various parties would not compromise.

"It seems to me that Copenhagen will not be a success. Each party is maintaining its position very strongly," Gusti said.

Your comments:

This is why history will call global warming environ-MENTAL-ism: You greenies choose to use food-growing land to grow fuel and then burn it, instead of pulling rotten dinosaurs out of the ground and burning that wisely?

And just who are you trying to fool; sustainability is another word for poverty. Live with less, consume less, buy less, want less, be less . be less . useless. And the UN has allowed carbon trading to trump third world education, clean water and starvation rescue.

So if you think we should give tax money to fat politicians who are promising to lower the temperature of the planet with it, don't for a microsecond think climate change's credibility is sustainable for another 23 years of global-dooming threats of death.

Now lets' work together to preserve, protect and respect nature and face the future of progress with courage, not needless fear, from a nonexistent enemy of the CO2 theory.

Meme Mine, you know absolutely nothing about what you say is climate change. Fortunately, there is becoming fewer and fewer of your kind as facts become too hard to ignore.

It's been a long, tough battle but hopefully, it's not too late to save the corals, and thereby the ecosystem of the seas etc.

It's so easy for Westerners to crusade for environmentalism now that all the forests which were worth protecting in the West have more or less been wiped out. Before they start talking about sustainability etc, they should come and visit these villages that have now started to enjoy some kind of economic development, which puts respectable food on their tables and clothes on their back.

These greenies should go live in these forests without any funding for a few decades before they would be even remotely qualified to talk about sustainability in countries like Indonesia. However, it's also hard to ignore the hypocrisy of these Westerners in fighting for environmentalism.

How many of the foreign companies and consumers are actually willing to pay the extra dollar for sustainability? You guys are a joke. Go back to your well-heated and well-furnished houses in your "perfect" Europe and let us run our lives in peace.
