(LPAC)—Tony Blair and The Climate Group—a Blair-created NGO whose corporate sponsors include such defenders of the environment as BP and the notorious Dope, Inc. bank, HSBC—today issued a 28-page report for Copenhagen, titled: Doing the Deal: Key Elements for a Copenhagen Climate Agreement.

With the fur flying among the Copenhagen delegates, and various nations staging walk-outs followed by walk-ins, Blair jumped into the fray to argue that "delay is not an option... A deal is there to be had: now is the time to grasp it." He explained to the London Times: "Get the agreement, get it underway," he stated, and don’t worry about the details. Blair, well known for lying through his teeth in order to get the Iraq war going, explained: "When you come to very precise dates, percentages and so on, then the figures are somewhat more fudge-able... The important thing is to give a clear direction out of this conference."

That policy direction includes: 1) cuts will be made, and strenthened down the line; 2) money will be provided to developing nations, to convince them to go along; and 3) an international "review mechanism" will be put in place to ensure compliance.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced that he would be traveling to Copenhagen two days earlier than expected, to try to ram a deal through.

On Monday, a group of African nations initiated a walk-out of the negotiations—which was eventually supported by the entire G-77 and China—because the latest draft text prepared by the Danish hosts scuttled the 1997 Kyoto accord altogether, and placed all carbon compliance on the backs of the developing sector. The walk-outs demanded that Kyoto be maintained, including mandatory carbon reduction targets for the advanced sector—a suicidal demand which only buys into the entire climate change charade. After reportedly receiving assurances from developed nations that there would be a two-track approach—Kyoto plus a new protocol—the G-77 plus China agreed to resume discussions.

Prince Philip’s WWF leapt to the defense of this approach. Kim Carstensen, head of the WWF Global Climate Initiative, said: "We believe a continuation of the Kyoto Protocol is a necessary part of the 2-protocol outcome of Copenhagen, and we support Africa’s demands for this."
