It's been interesting reading some of the reports on Copenhagen that have come out from some of the world's leading media, particularly from the AP. At best they've been over-optimistic, at worst, talking points from the UN and the IPCC on the "last great hope".

For the record, the Copenhagen is the UN's 15th major climate conference. The previous 14 had accomplished nothing much.

The Guardian is now reporting that a leaked text has left the conference in shambles.

The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents that show world leaders will next week be asked to sign an agreement that hands more power to rich countries and sidelines the UN's role in all future climate change negotiations.

Hands up if you're surprised.
