Part One: Campaign fatigue and sceptic spin complicate climate politics in 2010.

With the passing of the UN conference in Copenhagen at the end of 2009, climate politics has entered a new phase. Far from the beginning of a new global accord to a low carbon future, we have entered a period of apparent turbulence. The somewhat opaque mechanisms of international law via the UN can be heralded as either significant progress or scorned for lumbering ineffectiveness.
