Bali

    If you're only reading our local paper, you'd hardly know there was an international climate change conference going on in Bali.
    UN agreements and international diplomacy don't generally get my heart a-thumping, but read this blog's eyewitness account of the international pressure that finally led to the United States' joining in on the "compromise language" for future reductions in greenhouse gases. It's clear that the U.S delegation was doing anything but leading. . . but at least they were pulled along by our global peers.
