PORT OF SPAIN (Reuters) - World leaders on Friday rallied to a diplomatic offensive to forge a U.N. climate deal in Copenhagen next month and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said an agreement was "within reach".
Ban, and Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen who will host the December 7-18 U.N. climate talks, hailed what they portrayed as a growing international momentum toward a pact to curb greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming.
"Our common goal is to achieve a firm foundation for a legally binding climate treaty as early as possible in 2010. I am confident that we are on track to do this," Ban told a summit of Commonwealth leaders in Trinidad and Tobago.
"Each week brings new commitments and pledges -- from industrialized countries, emerging economies and developing countries alike," he added.
"An agreement is within reach ... We must seal a deal in Copenhagen," Ban said. He, Rasmussen and French President Nicloas Sarkozy attended the summit of the 53-nation Commonwealth as special guests to lobby on Friday for international consensus on a climate pact.
Rasmussen said Denmark had received an "overwhelmingly positive" response to its invitation to world leaders to attend the talks next months. "More than 85 heads of state and government have told us they are coming to Copenhagen, and many are still positively considering," he said.
He urged major developed countries to deliver firm commitments on cutting greenhouse gas emissions and to "put figures on the table" for "up-front" financing to help poor nations combat climate change.
"The need for money on the table -- that is what we want to achieve in Copenhagen," Rasmussen told a news conference later.

[[Is Climate gate going to be a scandal in which things keep dripping out, day by day? How can we take any of this seriously now that so much damaging information is out there?]]
I’m afraid we’ll have to take it seriously as the world leaders who are complicit in this collossal fraud give us the middle finger and ram through their economy destroying policies whiel we all watch in stunned silence at their arrogance and evil hubris
[[Are they going to proceed with this meeting as if nothing happened with the release of the damaging information??]]
Absolutely- maddening, isn’t it?
Me thinks it’s time once again for a massive phone, fax, email, courier pigeon, Flipper, Lassie bombardment of Congress to make them aware we are well informed of the fraud, and they had better be damned careful of who they piss off.
[[Are they going to proceed with this meeting as if nothing happened with the release of the damaging information??]]
The ONLY tjhing we can hope for is that when the democrats get thrown out on their lying rearends next election, and obama is looking for a job at hte local walmart, that the GOP president wil lhave enough intellectual and moral integrity to pull out of the ‘agreement’ based on the FACT that it was all based on a bald-faced lie and a coverup. Hopefully our next president will have enough courage to stand up for the truth
LOL!
I heard Australia may not be quite ready... Same with China.
And no matter what the Kenyan communist Ubama promises, congress is likely to take a pass anyway.
Copenhagen, DOA.
A French scientist has challenged the global temperature charts of the IPCC:
New Zealand scientists are questioning the warming curve that IPCC is using for New Zealand:
The New Zealand Climate Science Coalition - Are we feeling warmer yet?
The environazis have admitted, in past moments of indiscretion, their true intentions.
A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system (especially patterns of consumption) into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation. Paul Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich, Population, Resources, Environment (W.H. Freeman, San Francisco, 1970, 323) This quote has also been attributed to John Holdren, Erlichs co-author, who now works with Obama in the White House.

What most average Joes don’t understand is that Academia, the Media, big Green Business (GE, et al), the Government, the Scientific Community and private jackoffs like Al Gore have ALL their chips in on this pot.
Some are merely looney liberals who feel they are saving the planet, but mainly this is a way to bleed freedom via a lifestyle tax on our advanced culture. If this an Healthcare pass, we will not be able to move unless the Government Nurse-Greenie tells us where to crap and how much water we can use to flush it...
This is the end of the US, unless these are stopped.
bump
Depends on who you ask.
Hardcore leftists will tell you no, the Congress is moot if the treaty gets signed by a majority of international states.
Inconvenient truths be damned! Full speed ahead on the road to serfdom!
>> “put figures on the table” for “up-front” financing to help poor nations combat climate change. “The need for money on the table — that is what we want to achieve in Copenhagen,” Rasmussen told a news conference later.
It’s not about saving the planet, it’s about MONEY. Lots and lots of MONEY. Money to bathe in, slop around in, spread around among cronies, steal, embezzle, buy influence with, money, Money, MONEY. MONEY MONEY MONEY
YOUR money. That’s all the UN wants, for now. They’ll get your guns later.
Here lately, the sun has been rising later and setting earlier than it did a few weeks ago. Isn’t this enough to support spending TRILLIONS of dollars on finding a solution to this monumental danger that threatens all mankind, even liberals? Could this be a solargate?
They are all left hand turns all the time and our threads here more than proves it.
Even ignoring the fact that we are right and they are wrong not to mention that their failed science is now under inspection is a huge journalistic fopaw. Not that they ever were journalists anyway.
Yeah ofcourse the “emerging Countries” like this.
They can’t wait to get in line for the American Taxpayers Money.
Are the unemployment offices?
