Chaos at Copenhagen--gee, ya think??  This is just hilarious. Story at POLITICO. Link courtesy of SDA.

He was immediately rebuked by a representative of China, a member of the G-77 bloc, who said moving forward too quickly was tantamount to "obstructionism" and a bullying attempt by the West.


"I think the matter isn't ‘procedure, procedure, procedure.’... You can't just put forth some text from the sky," the representative said.
