Today, I had the pleasure of coordinating the Fossil of the Day Awards given by the Climate Action Network (CAN) to the parties that did their best the to obstruct negotiations the day before. Today’s First Place in the Fossil of the Day awards went to the European Union and Canada for their insistence on including Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). This technology is premature and should not be used to credit parties involved in these projects. The Second Place went to Saudi Arabia for their efforts to try and limit the work of the ad hoc Working Group on further commitments (AWG). And Third Prize went to Kuwait for their insistence that CCAS was viable, and their threat to halt the CDM discussion until CCS had been agreed on.
