By Tim Gallagher in Bali
It's 8am and already seven emails have pinged onto our Blackberries, trumpeting today's events at the Bali conference.
Thousands upon thousands of hacks, lobbyists and government negotiators are crammed onto this tiny island.
You pity the poor souls who chose this week for their honeymoon.
We're desperate to find out how the negotiations are coming along. But the officials are silent.
Charities and lobbyists representing every shade of green are desperate we and our kin attend their events and promote their cause. But there's only so many hours in the day.
It's like a turbo-charged version of a Lib Dem party conference. But with even more sandals.
At least everyone seems to be agreed on the need to thrash out a post-Kyoto deal here. Except the Indians apparently. Although that could be a negotiating tactic.
Hopefully all will become clearer as the day wears on.
Oh Dear, only seven e-mails. Suppose "Lata Mangeshker" can take comfort from the fact that the consensus is for an agreement, So lets see if India will further assist in delivering smog free solutions for the better of many a climatic appetite. No doubt negotiations will become clearer "Akhiyon Ke Jharokhe se"

The wonders of cliamte change are such that as the outside climate settles within the hot chambers of the gathering, "Lata Mangeshker" has yet to agree to bring targets that much closer for all Indians within the sub-sontinent to enjoy albeit "Akhiyon ke jharoke se".
None the less, Im sure the deal will not only be thrashed out before the smog clears, but provide clearer digital clarity to world vision and health as further enjoyed by visiting http://www.sky.com and darling can enjoy free tv licence, hopefully by christmas.
