Would be good if there were a more detailed reporting and discussion,
initiated by those who went to Durban but with wider participation beyond
that. We are an unusual moment in the climate change trajectory:
- impacts have probably been felt for 20 years in India (40 worldwide) but
perceived in the last 5-10 years or so
- some feedbacks are close to tipping point, particularly the Arctic (which
may have already crossed it)
- inertia in the energy system may push us closer to tipping points
- the world economy continues to flounder


Would be good to know how those who went and others think about what
happened or did not, etc.
