Fighting man made climate change or redistributing wealth?

"The climate summit in Cancun at the end of the month is not a climate conference, but one of the largest economic conferences since the Second World War...one must say clearly that de facto we distribute the world's wealth by climate policy.... One has to rid oneself of the illusion that international climate politics have anything to do with environmental concerns."

Otto Edenhofer, IPCC Working Group III co-chair, Nov. 14, 2010.
