The final phase of the UN Summit on Climate Change started with chaos and disorder at the Bella Center entrance, with sessions still characterized by strong North-South disputes. Never-ending lines terribly upset another group of delegates, NGOs, guests and journalists who had to line up for up to three hours out in the open, with temperatures below zero degree. The sort of Gordian knot outside the congress palace obstructed the entry of over 500 people who were trying to legalize their accreditations, as well as others who simply needed to take part in the meeting. The group of African nations today accused developed ones and the COP15 Danish chairmanship of wanting to kill the Kyoto Protocol, thus causing an immediate reaction among green associations in Bella Center.
"If we accept this situation, we will be signing the death of the Kyoto protocol, the only legally related document that exists. It would take over seven years for a new treaty to be signed. It took seven to Kyoto," Algerian delegate Kamel Djemouai said.
