Will Doha Climate Talks Achieve Anything

With the Kyoto Climate Agreement due to run out, new climate talks are about to start in Doha, Qatar. Qatar has one of the world's biggest per capita ecological footprints but it is hoped that talks in the country will bring good news for the environment. However, one potential sticking point could be 13 billion tonnes of unused carbon permits given to EU countries in past negotiations. Some countries want to carry the unused amounts over to future talks while environmentalists point out that the use of these permits will wipe out any future reductions.
