" Copenhagen teaches several lessons to us. China is a power with a decisive weight in the international scene, Brazil is an emergent star, Europe has great ambitions but little influence and the United States do not change much, with or without Barack Obama". In the Greek, altogether very negative press on the results of the summit of Copenhagen, " Eleftherotypia" , of positions of lefts, it considers that " the great polluting agents of the world have imposed in short in Copenhagen an imperfect agreement that does not correspond absolutely with the hopes of a world-wide commitment to limit the overheating of planeta". It is said that Greenpeace energetically condemned the arrogance of the Chiefs of State of the most powerful countries of the world when presenting/displaying an ineffective agreement to fight the climatic change in the Summit of the Climate of Copenhagen espanol.news.yahoo.com adds, that the Executive Director of Greenpeace International, Kumi Naidoo, warned: " The world faces a tragic crisis of leadership. Instead of to be united to the future guarantee for hundreds of million people when accepting an historical agreement that allows to avoid the climatic chaos, the leaders of the most powerful countries of the world betrayed to the future and present generations.

Although the Agreement of Copenhagen was acclaimed by some like a step forward, it is not it. In fact, not even formally it has been approved by the Conference of Partes (COP). It does not contain strong measures of reduction of emissions in the developed countries. It is a great concession to the polluting industries of the climate, especially to the sector of the fossil fuels, that it pressed strongly to undermine an agreement and now it has license to continue contaminating. The conference did not decide a way to follow to establish a legally binding agreement.
