...latter reason, allow us to raise another question: is a book really a book if it can't be read? So, if these "objects" are not books after all, then perhaps this room is not a library either. Just sayin'. (Off with the bars...
...main climate question for the G20 was how to finance global carbon emission reductions, and how to help developing nations that stand to lose the most from climate change adapt to a warmer world. That latter issue is a chief sticking point for the ongoing U.N. climate negotiations, in which governments are working to produce a successor to the Kyoto Protocol at the Copenhagen summit in December.
