After a couple
of days spent digging in their heels on the legal
form of a potential
deal, and then making headlines again yesterday with the release
of the AOSIS (Alliance
of Small Island States) draft text, Tuvalu open this morning's plenary meeting
of the resumed COP with an impassioned
plea, which many observers immediately called the signature moment
of the talks thus far.In an earnest, emotional address, lead negotiator Ian Fry called out the United States Senate and President Obama directly.
