I am speaking on behalf of the United States of America because my negotiators cannot,” Abigail Borah, a youth delegate to the 2011 Durban climate negotiations, yelled from the conference floor. “I am scared for my future,” she cried, silencing Todd Stern, the Obama administration’s chief climate negotiator. “We need an urgent path to a fair, ambitious, and legally binding treaty.”
Now the Obama administration is signaling that there will be not be a new climate treaty. According to a report in Wednesday’s New York Times, the path to a treaty has come to an end, 14 months before the Paris talks scheduled for next year. Instead, the best deal on offer is a non-binding accord. This is big news.
Meanwhile, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is reheating the rhetoric from its fifth assessment report, doing what it always does: produce the right mood music ahead of crunch-time climate talks. Trouble is, it’s all sounding more than a little dated. In that report, the first installment of which was released last September, the IPCC ducked the big question unsettling climate science. What are the possible causes and implications of the pause — or hiatus, as the IPCC prefers to call it — in the rise in average global temperatures? The pause is already more than a decade old. With 39 explanations and counting, and some climate scientists now arguing that it might last yet another decade, the IPCC has sidelined itself in irrelevance until it has something serious to say about the pause and has reflected on whether its alarmism is justified, given its reliance on computer models that predicted temperature rises that have not occurred.

An accord, ain’t that be what Pirates has?
“Liberalism” started out with the twisting of the meaning of words,
why should it not continue to be that way?

Many Americans should just stop with the air travel and all fossil fuel used directly or indirectly.
The poor dimwitted girl should take some Science classes. then she will be even more scared about a ruthless government trying to steal her future because of this scam.
The consequences of fighting this fictitious “problem” are much more horrifying than even the worse predictions of the Socialist promoting the hoax. Death to our economy and the end of our freedom counts for more than the slim possibility that the ocean might raise .000053478921 centimeters over the next 100 years.
Abigail should be scared for her future, but not due to climate change. We are at war with radical Islam and the price for losing that war is the end of western civilization. She better be afraid of living in a 6th century Muslim world where women are treated like property, she is forced to wear a burqa and having her clitoris cut off.
She will have lots of time to consider THAT while she is sitting at home with a sheet over her head for the rest of her life!
The point is for YOU to stop using the elites’ resources!
Of course, the only way to do that is stop living, which also is fine with them.
