Germany's Merkel defends climate accord
STAFF WRITER 16:53 HRS IST

Berlin, Dec 20 (AP) German Chancellor Angela Merkel is defending the much-criticised outcome of the Copenhagen climate summit as a first step that paves the way for action.

Merkel was quoted today as telling the Bild am Sonntag newspaper that "Copenhagen is a first step toward a new world climate order, no more, but also no less.'

The climate conference ended yesterday with only a nonbinding "Copenhagen Accord" that was short on concrete steps against global warming but signaled a new start for rich-poor cooperation on climate change.

Merkel said that "anyone who just badmouths Copenhagen now is engaging in the business of those who are applying the brakes rather than moving forward."

She added that the Copenhagen accord "must now be built upon.

I still don't know what I believe when it comes to global warming.  I frankly don't think there is enough data when we only have been following weather trends for a little more then 100 years.  I don't think that is enough time.
