The "Bali roadmap" initiates a two-year process of negotiations designed
to agree a new set of emissions targets to replace those in the Kyoto
Protocol.

I realy don't see any serious progress here,



There was more progress than it seemed. Firstly they actually got an
agreement which was quite suprising considering the behaviour that took
place as is quoted here.

"Pakistani ambassador to the United Nations Munir Akram, representing the
group of developing economies, accused unnamed rich nations of threatening
developing countries with trade sanctions if they did not "undertake
commitments which are quintessentially unfair".


So we had bullying taking place here. Quite frankly this Bali conference
was a bit of a disgrace.
