I loved that it took tears, and condemnation from the nations of the world at the just concluded climate talks in Bali, for USA to back down. “It’s a breakthrough” everyone is saying, and so it is. By 2012 countries of the world will be required to adhere to binding limits on carbon emissions.
It has taken decades for one of the worlds most educated, richest and most advanced countries to accept that the world is at risk to climate change. From an African perspective - this is absolutely amazing. But probably too late.
Finally George W. Bush has agreed to be part of the process. Or has he …he just gave the job to the next US president whom ever she may be. American politics is wonderful – almost as good as our African comedies - First lady of Kenya, Lucy Kibaki just slapped someone in public – again.
