Paris Climate Summit & UN talks push through in December 2015

Reports of the proposed Paris Climate Summit as well as UN talks will push through as scheduled.

Government representatives and UN ambassadors from more than 190 countries will meet in Paris in December for the Paris Climate Summit, to deliberate on a 'global agreement regarding climate change.

U.N. talks will also be up on the agenda as the summit is focused on enforcing a worldwide climate change agreement which has somehow been hard to achieve for the past 20 years.

The purpose of the said summit is to end "dangerous human interference with the climate system", in favor of Mother Earth and to put in place, a 'low-carbon economy' for all UN countries, or suffer the wrath of nature.

Recent scientific reports predict that if 'greenhouse gas emissions' surpass the threshold levels of carbon emission in the atmosphere, then catastrophic global warming occurrences might become irreversible.

Meanwhile, news from the Prime Minister's office has not indicated whether or not Tony Abbott will grace the Paris Climate Summit, as many others would hope so.

Speculations of Tony Abbott not attending the summit has spurred some controversies and criticisms from various environmentalists including Labor's Climate Change Spokesman, Mark Butler.

"Tony Abbott could be staying at a hotel next to the Paris Conference Talks and he still wouldn't go," Butler said.

Spokeswoman for Green's climate also commented on the issue and told reporters that Mr. Abbott had failed to attend the Climate Summit held in New York last year with speculations that he was too busy attending to other matters. It was told that Mr. Abbott had attended talks on terrorism in the same city, a day after the climate summit was held.

Senator Waters also gave a comment on the Prime Minister's absence in attending the climate summit in New York last year and speculated the same thing for the Paris Climate Summit 2015.

"Australia has a terrible reputation for dealing with climate change at the international level, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Prime Minister tries to avoid the embarrassment of being personally called out for it," Senator Waters said.
