As if you needed any more evidence that the Copenhagen Conference was a farce:
What Were They Thinking?
What is difficult for developed countries to understand is the choice of Sudan as a standard-bearer in the first place. The G77 elected Sudan as its chair in September, 2008, when its genocidal campaign in Darfur was already well known. By March, 2009, Omar al-Bashir, the country's president, became the first sitting head of state to be indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court, all related to the Darfur attacks that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians. Mr. al-Bashir is a wanted man, and his attendance at Copenhagen is unlikely; Sudanese leadership cannot be credible.
Maybe Sudan was selected for their uncompromising and hands-on approach to reducing the 'carbon footprints' of all those civilians in Darfur.

Where's George Clooney and the other Hollywood douchebags now? The save Darfur crowd is noticeably silent on this issue.
