Climate change alliance crumbling
Financial Times ^ | December 22, 2009 | Fiona Harvey, Amy Kazmin, Geoff Dyer and Jonathan Wheatley

Cracks emerged on Tuesday in the alliance on climate change formed at the Copenhagen conference last week, with leading developing countries criticising the resulting accord.

The so-called Basic countries – Brazil, South Africa, India and China – backed the accord in a meeting with the US on Friday night, and it was also supported by almost all other nations at the talks, including all of the biggest emitters.

But on Tuesday the Brazilian government labelled the accord “disappointing” and complained that the financial assistance it contained from rich to poor countries was insufficient.

South Africa also raised objections: Buyelwa Sonjica, the environment minister, called the failure to produce a legally binding agreement “unacceptable”. She said her government had considered leaving the meeting.

“We are not defending this, as I have indicated, for us it is not acceptable, it is definitely not acceptable,” she said.

There was even harsher criticism from Andreas Carlgren, environment minister of Sweden, current holder of the rotating European Union presidency, who proclaimed the Copenhagen accord “a disaster” and “a great failure”.

FTA: “There was even harsher criticism from Andreas Carlgren, environment minister of Sweden, current holder of the rotating European Union presidency, who proclaimed the Copenhagen accord “a disaster” and “a great failure”.

Seems to be a common assessment where ever His Turdship, Obama I, sees fit to poke his Marxist nose.

Obama’s F-up of Copenhagen is worthy of a freedom medal.

Pay to play. The 'poorer' countries are not happy because they are not given given a big enough cut of this scam and the 'richer' countries are not happy because the excuse for mass taxation and siphoning off of wealth is not strong enough. A good summary of the con in a nutshell IMO.

They had better disband pretty quick before people start grabbing the rope and looking for a low lying limb.

Not content with transferring wealth in the US, Hillary ponied up $200 billion at the Climate Change fiasco and Obama came away saying he had a "deal". Bangladesh said it should have been $1 trillion with a 'T'.

Time for more of Obama's Wealth Spread.

Sounds more like a bank robbery gone bad. Transfer of wealth was a much higher goal than anything related to pollution or the so-called "climate change".

If they don,t suceed in stealing from the so called rich one way they will try another.

I bet Robin Hood would be mad as hell if he found out this kind of scum were equating thierselves with him.

I’m so surprised countries expecting free money want more. Just how much would be enough? Perhaps Andrew Carnegie could have enlightened us.

Well, come time, just put it on our great-grandchildren’s bill...along with them paying for my heart meds. What’s a few more hundred trillion dollars?

It’s beginning to look as though the Climate Change scam is crumbling just like the Copenhagen conference did.

It will soon be necessary, therefore, for the science scammers to invent a new dodge or hustle to keep the citizens alarmed and the government “crisis bucks” flowing.

Watch for it - the science hustlers are extremely creative in buttering their bread.

Now if we can just get this with the Global Warming Hoax’s Globalist cousins.....the Free Trader Globalists.....our economy would start growing again.

I am glad to see these countries exercise their national soveriegnty over a failed Globalist agends...something the USA needs to do on Global Warming Hoax and Free Trade Globalism

Shouldn't the concern be we are not doing enough to save the world. Instead the concern is we ain't getting enough of your money.
