The United Nations Climate Change Summit currently taking place in Copenhagen has been hyped up since the start of the year as what would amount to the next critical step in helping the environment. Over the last week, however, the Summit has been hampered by a series of missteps: African delegates walking out of proceedings; protesters breaking into the chambers; thousands of un-green limos used to transport a limited number of delegates; and today the President of the Summit stepping down.
Much like its mother organization, is the Summit becoming quickly obsolete? Is it becoming apparent that the United Nations, bogged down in bureaucracy, has bequeathed to the Summit a set of procedures which do a disservice to the environmental needs of the globe?
