NEW YORK - President Barack Obama urged world leaders at the United Nations on Tuesday to act swiftly to address climate change, but did not offer a plan, or timetable, to get stalled cap-and-trade climate legislation through the U.S. Senate.
“After too many years of inaction and denial, there is finally widespread recognition of the urgency of the challenge before us. We know what needs to be done,” Obama told fellow heads of state gathered for a climate change summit called by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.
“The journey is long. The journey is hard,” Obama added. “We don’t have much time left to make that journey.”
In advance of a key climate-change conference this December in Copenhagen, Denmark, many diplomats and environmentalists were hoping that Obama would detail his strategy to move House-approved carbon-emissions trading legislation through the Senate and onto his desk to be signed into law. But Obama only made a vague pledge to keep pushing for the measure.
“The House of Representatives passed an energy and climate bill in June that would finally make clean energy the profitable kind of energy for American businesses and dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” Obama explained. “One committee has already acted on this bill in the Senate, and I look forward to engaging with others as we move forward.”

Wonder what is toimorrows edict.
They need to act quickly before even the dumbest figures out it’s getting colder, not warmer.
Zero showed up without a plan? Shocking, I tell ya...
We got to get this moron out of the whitehouse NOW!!!
We can’t let this global warming BS happen. If it does, our sovereignty as a nation and what’s left of our freedom is gone forever, and control over the worlds energy supplies will be in the hands of the worlds elitists, unelected, unaccountable wanna-be world emperors lording over us and the world.
They all drank the kool-aid.
There, fixed it.
