        goals been abandoned, and are we falling fast through an
        "adaptation gap"?...</font><br>
      <font size="-1">Like the United Nations, the United Nations
        Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the
        Conference of the Parties (COP) are diplomatic fora, populated
        by professional representatives of national ruling elites, and
        subject to the diplomatic processes of negotiation, trade-offs
        and deals. Civil society sectors are excluded from formal

      <font size="-1">Decision-making is inclusive (by consensus),

        current 1°C level of warming more elements of the system may be
        heading towards tipping points or experiencing qualitative
        change. These include the slowing of the major sea current known
        as the Atlantic conveyor, likely as a result of climate change;
        accelerating ice-mass loss from Greenland; declining carbon
