1:50 pm, Dec 18. Last day of the Copenhagen Talk. I don't know when the negotiations will continue on today. It is definitely not looking good. I am posting internal communication emails here for the first time to just show how things "progress" and state of emotions of the few youth delegates inside Bella Center

The Danish government produced a document, lets say a political declaration
to be signed by all the heads of states and government
of less than 3 pages. It seems that all the discussions we attended this night
were just a show, just a manner to occupy the delegates with something.
It seems that this will be the only outcome,
I didn\t read the texte yet, it\s being negotiated now
but they did exactly what they were accused of being trying to do
no new period under kyoto, no commitments
may be everything is being postponed!
A very non-transparent process!
manipulated everyone,,,
didn't hear our voices,,,
