Copenhagen – how the Danes will salvage a deal ( more on the Global Warming Hoax )
New Scientist ^ | 13:48 17 November 2009 | Fred Pearce

It's official: the organisers of the Copenhagen climate conference conceded last weekend that it cannot deliver a final, legally binding deal. Danish prime minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, the conference host, is hoping for a "political deal", followed by a legal one in 2010. The question now is how specific the political deal will be.

Speaking at a meeting of Asian leaders in Singapore, Rasmussen said the Copenhagen agreement should be "precise on specific commitments and binding on countries committing to reach certain targets. We need the commitments. We need the figures. We need the action." His climate minister, Connie Hedegaard, says it is "most important that the US commit to bring specific numbers to Copenhagen".

Will it? That's in the balance. Though keen to agree a climate treaty, President Barack Obama is thought to be reluctant to make promises that Congress will not let him keep – as the then vice-president Al Gore did in Kyoto in 1997.

Now we know for a fact that this was a giant ruse to institute a giant redistribution of WEALTH.
The deal will fall through because Zero has destroyed all of the American WEALTH.

I sure hope you’re right. But, they are like cats with nine lives or bad pennies turning up everywhere. Perhaps we can be rid of the religion of AGW sooner rather than later.
