Obama upbeat on climate, report shows worse crisis
(AFP) – 16 hours ago
WASHINGTON — US President Barack Obama sought Tuesday to boost hopes of a landmark deal at the Copenhagen climate summit, as a new report showed the crisis facing the planet is deeper than previously thought.
Obama said the world was "one step closer to a successful outcome in Copenhagen," as he hosted key developing nation India at the White House a week after returning from top global polluter China.
"It's also essential that all countries do what is necessary to reach a strong operational agreement that will confront the threat of climate change while serving as a stepping-stone to a legally binding treaty," he added at a joint news conference with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
His comments came as scientists warned the planet could be getting much hotter, much faster than anticipated only two years ago, according to a review drawn up ahead of the December 7-18 UN climate conference.
The 68-page report suggests that many of the estimates in a report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2007 were too low.
The planet could now warm by 10.8 degrees Fahrenheit (seven degrees Celsius) and sea levels could rise by 3.25 feet (over a meter) by 2100, scenarios that seemed improbable just two years ago.
"This is a final scientific call for climate negotiators from 192 countries who must embark on the climate protection train in Copenhagen," said Hans Schellnhuber, director of Germany's Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), which oversaw the paper.
"They need to know the stark truth about global warming and the unprecedented risks involved."

Alright. I may have reached my peak. What the HELL are climate negotiators - and what are they good for? Absolutely nuthin'.
The British financial press says that Al Gore’s companies would make him the first carbon credit billionaire if the democrat party scam succeeds.

Is Obama really this stupid.....or are his people afraid to tell the emperor he wears no clothes??
"You got it backwards.
You misunderstand me," the mighty robot had said.
"I am the Master!"
From “Rules for Radicals” by Obama’s hero, Saul Alinsky:RULE 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.”
QUESTIONS?

Psychotic megalomaniacs can only see themselves. Remember that Hitler moved imaginary divisions around the battlefield board right to the end.
