Copenhagen: Desperately seeking a strong deal

Will Friday be the day that politicians in Copenhagen save humanity, an Africa delegate asked on Thursday night. At the beginning of the last day of climate-change talks in Copenhagen, analysts at the conference believed a strong deal at this stage was merely pie in the sky and a new Climategate questioned the political will of leaders.On Thursday there were signs of progress, although this was smaller than baby steps. Many delegates were still holding out for a strong political agreement in the absence of a legally binding one, but there were fears that the world could end up with a "greenwashed" deal.
