Copenhagen flips into a ditch: U.S. and China resort to insults
Fun to watch. And, more importantly, a sure sign there will be no deal.
But so far, the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitters seem more interested in taunting than talking.
“I don’t want to say the gentleman is ignorant,” Chinese Vice Foreign Minister He Yafei told reporters Friday, referring to top U.S. negotiator Todd Stern. “But I think he lacked common sense or he’s extremely irresponsible.” . . .
The spat marks an open explosion in a previously more diplomatic standoff between two of the world’s greatest powers — and biggest polluters.
