“Fossil of the Day” Award
Canada won the top fossil award yesterday for Minister Ambrose’s attempt to mislead the international community by claiming that her climate plan “recognises the need for urgent action so that we can finally make progress towards our 2012 international obligations”. In reality, this “plan” repudiates Kyoto by delaying GHG regulations until late 2010 and allowing Canada’s emissions to stay above current levels until 2020 to 2025.

Second place was also awarded to Canada for using Minister Ambrose’s speech in the high-level segment as a venue for flagrant partisanship. Canadian observers were shocked and embarrassed. Australia came in third for providing little detail about its hyped “new Kyoto” package in the high-level segment, or in any other part of the meeting.
