2010-10-29 14:24:46Great typo in Japan Times front page story today about Nagoya biodiversity talks being held up by "micro-orgasms" (TBFTGoGGI)
2010-10-29 14:43:43UN Biodiversity talks on edge: Brazil delegate "I'm concerned..expected we'd be in better position by now". Typhoon approaching. Hours left
2010-10-29 15:28:21Print RT @hello_liza: @jonathanwatts Trying to find the micro-orgasms! Which story is it in ? (print or online?)
2010-10-29 15:36:56Only hours left & deal still elusive in Nagoya to save world's biodiversity.So what are delegates doing? taking a wine break at a reception!
2010-10-29 18:33:06thousands of delegates at wine, samosa and sitar reception at nagoya COP10, while small working group tries to clinch deal. touch and go!
2010-10-29 19:22:01Nagoya COP10: chair announces another delay until 9pm. Running out of time - as well as beer and samosas to keep the delegates placated.
2010-10-29 19:49:28Nagoya COP10: Hopes rising among delegates. Not sure why. Perhaps effect of alcohol during long limbo. Conference could still go either way.
2010-10-29 20:12:32Nagoya COP10: They are playing a recording of the sitar playing to keep delegates amused. Shame they can't reprise the taste of the samosas.
2010-10-29 20:20:11Nagoya COP10: But all it takes is 1 "maverick nation" to oppose in plenary and all could be scuppered. Will Chair be quick with the gavel?
2010-10-29 20:58:55Nagoya COP10: Another Euro delegate: "Its all positive." Approaching plenary hall now. Its delayed again, but for how long?
2010-10-29 21:03:43Nagoya COP10 (wish I could find hash on my UK keyboard): Plenary hall packed. Bank of cameras ready. Waiting. Waiting.
2010-10-29 21:30:43Nagoya COP10: Dark whispers that Bolivia and Iran may spoil the party. Surely not at this stage
2010-10-29 21:34:01Nagoya COP10: Source tells me marine protected area will be expanded over 10%. That would be a plus.
2010-10-29 21:35:18Brazil apparently promising to douse expected Bolivian firework display in the plenary session #NagoyaCOP10
2010-10-29 21:48:31@PointCarbonNews Agree that Bolivia is not afraid to stand alone. But definitely more progress and good will at Nagoya than Tianjin
2010-10-29 22:01:22European delegation now meeting with African delegation. That sounds ominous. Last-minute hitch? #NagoyaCOP10
2010-10-29 22:17:05Plenary has started at last. Good sign. Now let's see if there are any mavericks in the house #NagoyaCOP10
2010-10-29 23:17:53Un oh! Boliva, Ecuador and Cuba are insisting on an item-by-item discussion...#NagoyaCOP10
2010-10-29 23:36:11EU insisting that all three documents (ABS, financing and strategic plan) are voted on together - U-turn from conference start #NagoyaCOP10
2010-10-29 23:39:47EU backs down on three-in-one, but says it wants the money and strategic plan decided first. No trust #NagoyaCOP10
2010-10-29 23:43:30Japanese chair is taking too long to decide.Allows other devlping nations to join Bolivia and Cuba. Momentum against EU. #NagoyaCOP10 #eg
2010-10-29 23:54:51EU worried that they will be left with (the, for them, wrong) half of a deal. Can they escape this growing ambush? #NagoyaCOP10 #eg
