The Conference of the Parties (COP) is about to reconvene after a 4hr break. The new text prepared by the president of the COP sets a roadmap for a comprehensive climate agreement to avoid dangerous climate change. But there is one major omission: targets. As we prepare to open negotiations on the new text, the United States and Canada have managed to block and remove any references to concrete targets and time lines for emission reductions. The US and Canada, immune to science and morality, will try to leave with as little as they can. At 8:45am in Bali, Indonesia, history has yet to be written.
