Okay, I know that sounds like a Bruce Willis movie and my apologies… but this COP has achieved that dreamlike-nightmarish quality that obscures what day it is, what time it is. So apologies. I was surprised to check and see that my last blog had been late Thursday. We have been in nearly constant negotiations since then, without a final outcome as I write this at 7 pm Saturday night.
To my surprise Thursday night, the president adjourned, having instructed the two-chairs to work with him and develop a new text by 9 pm. He also asked the lead negotiators from Norway and Singapore to play a role in helping find consensus. He then sent all the rest of us back to our hotels with a plenary to begin at 9 am Friday.
