Climate Change nil, Global Governance nil (half-time score)

So the Copenhagen meeting failed to deliver due to poor teamwork by those on the attack against reactionary, but stubborn, defence.
For many, the star players are in the civil society groups who campaigned tirelessly and whose stamina will need to remain at a high level as the fight continues. The poor performers were the politicans unable to accept national responsibility for getting the pitch into such a mess in the first place.
However, by setting the standard of play at a level consistent with the needs for success - in fact the very survival of the game and the players, there is all to play for in the second half. A good manager now will be urging all concerned to make sure that players and spectators around the world are made fully aware of the statistics involved, so there can be no fudging of the issues or debate about the basis on which the game has to be played. Once the data is absolutely clearcut (a requirement here for the scientists of the game to sort out), then pressure needs to be maintained to get the underperforming players in the political part of the team to deliver. We are at the halfway point in terms of time to get a result and their is everything to play for. In fact we cannot afford to lose.
We need urgently to build the global governance team to beat the climate change challenge so they can then start to address an even bigger challenge - to beat the threat posed by global resource depletion and the need to reduce global poverty and improve the quality of life without economic growth! Now that will really will be a game to watch!
