Africa had no choice because of the reality of climate change. The negotiations have been going a long time and have not shown much progress. It's not about money. Climate change is an issue of life or death for us. The developed countries have to shift policies. A bad deal is not good for Africa or vulnerable countries," said Sekoli.

"The impacts of climate change have come too soon, so soon. I am scared to think of the consequences," he said.

This i s EXACTLY what I said in answer to another post on this issue! Africa is ALREADY suffering and the first, industrialised world is not doing NEARLY enough. It is already late in the day for Africa and getting worse by the day.
