Didn’t take long for word to get out that the UN climate change talks underway in Valencia, Spain are already boggingย down.

The French Press Agency is reporting that, โ€œโ€ฆ there had been by sharp exchanges over what the document should include and whether it should reflect findings published after a cut-off date for newย material.โ€

The Australian Age is reporting that the report โ€œโ€ฆ has been watered down as a result of influence from government officials from countries opposed to taking radicalย action.โ€

We have a copy of the pre-negotiation report and will be comparing it to the final publicly released document to be issued this Saturday, Novemberย 17.

Stayย tuned.
