On October 22, an accord was signed by Xie Zhenhua, China's vice minister at the National Development and Reform Commission, and Jairam Ramesh, India's environment minister, in New Delhi. The memorandum provides an alternative framework to counter pressure from America and Europe to adopt mandatory limits on greenhouse gas emissions in a new UN treaty. The two Asian powers will collaborate on the development of renewable power projects and improved energy efficiency programs, while rejecting any outside mandates that would slow economic growth.
The United Nations has been holding forums around the world to build support for a new climate treaty to be drafted in Copenhagen in December to replace the expiring Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto document did not require the developing countries to do anything about reducing emissions. The United States and European Union have been trying to find some formula that would persuade the developing countries to sign on to the new treaty. China and India, along with Brazil, Mexico and South Africa, have been adamant about staying out of any global requirement. By forming regional alignments that keep policy in the hands of national governments, the developing countries expect to be able to resist Western and UN pressure.

It is easier to stay independent of the climate paranoia if one does not believe the planet is in peril. Xiao Ziniu, director general of the Beijing Climate Centre, told the British Guardian newspaper recently that "There is no agreed conclusion about how much change is dangerous....Whether the climate turns warmer or cooler, there are both positive and negative effects....In Chinese history, there have been many periods warmer than today." He disputed the disaster warnings of the UNIPCC, saying, "The accuracy of the prediction is very low because the climate is affected by many mechanisms we do not fully understand."What a contrast with 0bama, the UN IPCC, algore and the rest of the global warming loons! It's surreal to hear truth coming from Red China, while our own government spouts propaganda...
China and India do what Obama will not.
The two Asian powers will collaborate on the development of renewable power projects and improved energy efficiency programs, while rejecting any outside mandates that would slow economic growth.
Sounds right to me. Just who are the Morons responsible for the US approach, much less the UN insanity?
We are expected to self-destruct for no reason.
And the American Hating Obama is only too willing to oblige.
Nations acting in their own self-interest....WHAT A CONCEPT!
Thank God SOMEONE is standing up to this absurd fascist nonsense.
Chinese and Indians are also doing nothing to protect unicorns from extinction and leprechaun’s habitat from being destroyed!!!
Ping.
China and India have done more good for the US economy than Obama!!!!!
Bingo! We have a winner.
Does this mean that the Kenyan will not sign the climate change U.N. treaty that cedes U.S. sovereignty?
Their standing up because they know they will get the jobs that America loses when Cap and Tax goes into effect.
“THEY understand it will kill thier economy.
We are expected to self-destruct for no reason.
And the American Hating Obama is only too willing to oblige. “
Obama wants us to self destruct.
China and India are doing exactly what we should be doing.
They are not being coerced by greedy politicians like GORE and non politicians investing in this energy (ahem) program.
maybe our accidental prez will end up doing the right thing for all the wrong reasons.
