The Copenhagen Climate Talks closed last week with the sinking hopes of many enviro-groups who, expectedly, called the summit a failure — and with a “sinking” mural by world-renowned graffiti artist Banksy.

“I don’t believe in global warming,” reads Banksy’s new mural — with the bottoms of the letters painted below the water, as if sinking in disbelief. That message is one of four new Banksy works painted on the Regent’s Canal in Camden, north London, according to the BBC. (via Social Vibe)

Not sure what exactly went down in Copenhagen? Fellow MNN blogger Karl Burkhart’s post has skinny on the Copenhagen Accord, the non legally or politically binding agreement with no real timeline many enviro groups are upset about.

But don’t despair — The fight isn’t over yet. Ken Ward at Grist notes that although the Copenhagen Accord is basically “utterly useless language, unenthusiastically scrabbled together in hours by 5 out of 192 nations,” a few good things basically came out of it — namely, global acceptance of the fact of global warming, and the fear and clarity that we really need to start working to mitigate global climate change. NRDC’s Jake Schmidt is hopeful that the Accord will be “further fleshed out in the coming months.” And Geoffrey Lean of London’s Daily Telegraph goes so far as to outline 7 steps that need to be taken as we work toward a real, binding international climate deal.
