The end of a fairytale.

Once upon a time there existed a group of nations who gathered together in a land called Copenhagen to sign a treaty that would protect their collective kingdoms from the evils of climate change and ensure the livelihoods of their people for years to come. Despite years of obstacles and reasons to believe otherwise, the agreement was signed in the nick of time and they lived happily ever after. The End.



Do you buy this? Me neither.

(This blog commentary was posted courtesy of Chris Jarvis and 3BL Media, LLC)
