"The 17th United Nations conference on climate change ended with the adoption of an agreement that provides a road map for fighting climate change by 2015, which will come into force in 2020, and with an extension of the Kyoto Protocol, the only legally binding framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Although we cannot say that Durban was a huge success, we can still applaud the fact that through intense negotiations, delegations from the 190 largest economies have committed to the long haul. The greatest success, without a doubt, was managing to keep the two most reluctant parties at the negotiating table: the United States and India. The United States have always been sceptical about climate change, and India, meanwhile, is among the emerging powers that refuse to acknowledge their part in the current climate situation and that believe that this is the responsibility of the long-standing industrialised countries. This is actually true, but can the historical responsibility of Europe and the United States justify the irresponsibility of major polluting countries?"@en1
