Copenhagen summit does the Hokey Cokey

It looks like its going to one of those days…

The BBC have reported, in the last hour, that negotiations at the Copenhagen summit had been suspended after a walk-out by the African delegation over what they saw as a move by the Danish government to sideline further talks about further emissions cuts under the Kyoto protocol.

However, in the last couple of minutes, Ed Miliband has tweeted that the talks are resuming, albeit only to talk about the process…

“copenhagen talks restart await negotiations over process. Frustrating…” – Ed Miliband, 12:34pm

According to one negotiator, this is just ‘par for the course’ so it appears that talk of the imminent collapse of the summit may well be premature.
