Prime Minister Kevin Rudd must take a large share of responsibility for the failure of the Copenhagen climate talks.

The talks are about to break up without a binding agreement or even a reasonable political framework sought by Australia, foundering on divisions between developing and developed countries.

The Story of Cap & Trade is a fast-paced, fact-filled look at the leading climate solution - emissions trading - on the negotiating table at Copenhagen and in other capitals.
