If you’re like me, any mention of the Kyoto Accord makes my eyes glaze over. It reminds me of the interminable newspaper headlines back in the 80’s, when Canada went through the process of bringing its constitution home from Britain (find a Canadian, say "repatriation of the constitution", and watch their eyes glaze. It’s fun. Ed.). Yeah, you know it’s an important and noble cause, but please — spare us the gory details and just get it done already.
However, the news coming out of last week’s international talks in Buenos Aires is full of tantalizing reports about grown-ups behaving badly. It’s juicy. Even for someone with, as Laird would put it, "the attention span of a hummingbird".
