Why he's done it is not very important. What is important and turns his last 3 months into a worth sharing story are those little details that make the difference between a self sufficient consumer living in the city and a happy camper that proves that being green can be reduced to being.

The stated aim was to use this ‘conditional’ target as a carrot to get other countries, not least the United States, to do more on climate change. A worthy aim perhaps, but, as very well seen by everybody, this bait doesn’t seem to have been very enticing to anyone at the Copenhagen talks.

Or so does the media say. President Barack Obama, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and South African President Jacob Zuma discussed behind closed doors (in the last 2 days only 300 out of 10k accredited people have been allowed inside the Bella Center) and may have found a way out of the mess COP15 seems to have become.
