Have not been able to get into the details of the Copenhagen accord yet but going by what I have heard in the various medias the deal seems to be a beginning hopefully towards bigger and concrete actions.
This is definitely positive as I do believe that finding a solution which is mutually agreeable for 191 countries is a daunting task and the usual methodologies will not work. Hence, probably non-binding targets based on voluntary decisions on the premise of equitable distribution of responsibility is probably the right way to proceed. As you would gather I am a proponent of individual action so the thinking seems pragmatic to me but I still wonder whether it will achieve what we all want by the time we want it.
Will have to read the text from Copenhagen in detail to understand it better

I'm wondering if you came away with a positive impression because you live in Germany. I was rather disappointed with how little we managed to achieve in Copenhagen.
This gives a good summary http://www.huffingtonpost.com/carl-pope/lessons-from-denmark_b_399873.html
Well living in Germany is not the point. Maybe I am always a more optimistic person and since my initial expectations from the conference were not that high to see something come out of it which was in a tiny viny way in line with how I think the issue can be tackled gave me hope.
