CLIMATE Change Secretary Ed Miliband acknowledged yesterday that the results of the Copenhagen conference were “disappointing”, but insisted that important progress was made in the fight against global warming.
Mr Miliband pointed the finger of blame clearly at China for blocking agreement on legally-binding emissions targets and a 50% cut in greenhouse gases by 2050 at the two-week UN-sponsored climate change conference which wound up yesterday.
He firmly rejected the argument of some campaigners that having no deal would have been better than the limited deal agreed at Copenhagen.
