An inter-governmental system that falls apart under the challenges of trade negotiations and proliferation threats is unlikely to master the deep complexity and multitudinous vested interests that the issue of climate change entails. Traditional diplomacy will at best devise a face-saving but meaningless accord next year.
这并不奇怪。政府间体系在贸易谈判以及武器扩散的挑战之下瓦解，就难以掌握气候变化问题所带来的千头万绪和众多既得利益。传统外交明年最多可以创造不丢面子但是没有意义的协议。
