A global deal to tackle climate change is all but impossible in 2010, leaving the scale and pace of action to slow global warming in coming decades uncertain, according to senior figures across the world involved in the negotiations.The Guardian, of course, fails to even mention ClimateGate or the exposing of the pack of lies from the IPCC.
"The forces trying to tackle climate change are in disarray, wandering in small groups around the battlefield like a beaten army," said a senior British diplomat.
Meanwhile, one of Tony Blair's scientific advisers flails about trying to pin the blame for the uncovering of the ClimateGate emails on either the Russians or U.S. lobbyists. That's good. Ignore the devastating evidence of fraud and worry about who leaked them.
The first sign of the emails came on November 17, when someone attempted to upload them to the RealClimate website, which is run by climate scientists.
The attempted hack failed, but two days later the information popped up on a server used by Tomcity, a company in Russia. It could have been uploaded from anywhere in the world.
However, Sir David said it was impossible to rule out the possibility of Russia being involved. He said: "If it was a job done on behalf of a government, then I suppose there is the possibility that it could be the Russian intelligence agency.
"If it was a maverick group then I suppose it could be the Americans, but I'm hazarding a guess as much as anyone else. The only thing is, I've worked within government and I've seen this in operation."
In his interview, he added that the American lobby system was a "very likely source of finance" for the hack and that "the finger must point to them."
