The UN Climate Circus met in Bonn, Germany last week, though with the exception
of dedicated Green news outlets and blogs the whole event passed with no main
stream media attention, such is the state of global warming fear fatigue these
days. The UN backed Green Climate Fund (GCF) is still struggling for money and
there is a GCF board meeting scheduled for May to decide how to distribute the
money, always assuming that the GCF board members have decided whether to fly
First or Business Class to Bali for the meeting. --Tory Aardvard, 17 March 2014

Levels of trust between leading developing countries and the USA and EU member states appears to have hit a new low after a week of UN climate talks in Bonn. India, China and 24 other countries in the Like-Minded Developing Countries (LDMC) group say the brunt of greenhouse gas cuts must be made by industrialised countries. The US, EU and Switzerland say the global climate deal scheduled to be agreed in Paris next year will only work if all countries make commitments, which they say was agreed in 2011 in Durban. --Sophie Yeo and Ed King, Responding to Climate Change, 17 March 2014 (http://www.rtcc.org/2014/03/17/trust-deficit-blocking-progress-at-un-climate-talks/)
