New York Times: It took almost two weeks for negotiators from 195 countries to finally pass the landmark climate accord this weekend after several espresso-fueled all-nighters and long, passionate debates over the meaning of a single word, such as "shall." But the story of how the deal came together started long before that - in December 2009, with the failure of the last such summit meeting, in Copenhagen.

This could happen to much of the main island - located 170 kilometres south-east of Washington DC - in as little as 50 years, unless defences are built to hold back the rising tides.
