The UN climate talks in Nairobi have just ended with somewhat ambiguous conclusions. No deal has been made on another round of mandatory cuts in emissions to follow the Kyoto Protocol, and there's not even a clear timetable for negotiating these cuts. As some critical observers noted, the speed in which countries are willing to adapt to new realities is that of a snail. How do you consider the need of speeding up the process of emission cuts? Do you believe it is a helpful tool in combatting global warming?
