Climate change conference failure

The failure of Copenhagen to find a binding solution to carbon reductions after so many years of trying and failing in the past tells me everything we need to know. It's clear as day that almost two hundred different countries with different priorities and different states of their economies can never be bound by any agreement on anything, let alone something as amorphous as climate change. I'm pretty sure ordinary folk look at the thousands of attendees, each flown in at great carbon cost to exhale tonnes of hot air, and they think that just stopping these conferences would help reduce climate change by at least a degree. It's time to get real and spend the money on practical research into local and regional climate change impact; and on the farming and crop technology to ensure the world is fed; and on the defences necessary to combat what is to come; and yes, reduce dependence on fossil fuel carbon because it is the right thing to do, regardless of what other countries do.
