Topic: Un Climate Meeting

Researchers claim that global warming is negatively impacting human sex lives, with fewer babies born nine months after days where temperatures exceed 80 degrees. In the political sphere, negotiators for the UN climate meeting in Paris consider a "pledge and review" system similar to nuclear agreements. Bolivia proposes a more radical "international climate justice tribunal," though major emitters like China and the U.S. are unlikely to participate.

A group of 133 countries, including the G77 and China, walked out of a United Nations climate meeting in Warsaw. The dispute centers on "climate finance" and demands for an automatic compensation mechanism for extreme weather events in developing nations. Developed nations, led by the U.S., Britain, and Japan, have already spent $35 billion on climate initiatives but resist the open-ended liability of a formal compensation framework.
