Fossil of the Day

CAN International, together with Avaaz.org, awards every night at 6 p.m. the "Fossil of the Day" to those countries having blocked the negotiations at that particular day. Yesterday, the Ukraine was on the third and also on the first place - as far as I known an unprecedented success for Ukraine. Quoting the website http://www.fossil-of-the-day.org/, "Ukraine wins the first place for having the single worst carbon emissions reduction target in the world: a -20% reduction from 1990 levels ... which means a 75% increase from current levels".

The Fossil of the Day is a very prestigious award and the goblet - hidden in fossil layers in the Earth's crust - can only be brought to light by a mermaid. Keep updated in the winners, it gives a nice insight into the way carbon targets and semantics of the negotiations work.
