The planet may be saved after all, and it will only cost $100 billion.
Just as the Copenhagen climate summit appeared to be on the verge of unraveling, the United States Thursday announced its support of an annual $100 billion climate protection fund, the Associated Press reports.
“The US is prepared to work with other countries toward a goal of jointly mobilizing $100 billion a year by 2020 to address the climate change needs of developing countries,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said.
Included in the conditions for the US' contribution, Clinton demanded that China's emissions reductions be scrutinized independently and that 193 countries sign a climate deal tomorrow. This would keep the US and other rich nations on top of developing countries who want them to increase emission cuts, the AP reports.
Clinton revealed that the U.S. would not be decreasing emissions by 2020 beyond the 4 percent it committed to in 1990.
While she would not disclose how much the U.S. would be contribution to the climate fund, Clinton said there would be a fair amount contributed to the pot that would be made available in 2020. The finances will reportedly be raised partially by taxing aviation and shipping, as proposed by the European Union.

Not sure.

Is she part Shar-Pei?
She might try to write a check, but when they try to cash it, it will bounce.
Glad to hear the Repubs are resurgent in Nassau Cty. Maybe they can do something about the massive taxation/spending problems.
I enjoy watching that too much.
Someone needs to do the Chinese beotch slapping Obama like that.
Unless of course, you have the IE plugin for Firefox and switch to it then you get to vote at least twice.
Or, you could clear all of your cookies and keep voting.

A lot of people odn’t know this, but hospitals, by law, must cover the uninsured- they have a ‘slush fund’ set aside to cover these folks that the government alots them every year- As well, if you’re below certain income level, you also qualify for medicaid (although it takes a long time to actually get approved, but hospitals can’t refuse to treat while the person is applying)
Illegal imigrants can’t even be refused treatment by law (which is assinine law, but it is what it is) So all this ‘there are 34 million uninsured people’ nonsense is just that- nonsense- while they don’t have insurance, they DO have the right to be treated under the law- and even if this healthcare bill gets passed, there is still goign to be 24 million uninsured (who will then be fined up to $3200 I beleive- which, if you htink about it, is one of the most cruel thigns around- demanding that poor get insurance, and then penalizing poor people who can’t afford to have insurance) Congress doesn’t care about ‘insuring the poor’ as they claim- they ONLY care about extracting money from EVERYONE via mandatory health insurance, and if folks don’t buy it, they will be fined- the far left loons are ruthless heartless morons who speak out of both sides of their mouths- NEVER ever trust AN^YTHING they say- they claim one hting, and do quite the opposite- they try to make themselves look like Robin Hood, while the TRUTH is that they are Saddam Husseins or Nazis (their ideology is VERY Nazi-like- who tried to look like the Savior while trying to hide their forked tails and horns)

"The US is prepared to work with other countries toward a goal of jointly mobilizing $100 billion a year by 2020..."No, the US isn't. If the Demwits want to pay $100 billion, they can do so out of their own ample pockets, starting with a 100 per cent tax on Soros and all leftwingers in the entertainment industry.
I love this YouTube posters comment.. “Radical environmentalists are like watermelons: green on the outside, red on the inside. “ -tdvance
I Love It!
Give that man(woman) a cigar!!
Obviously Marxists are quite fine with spending tax payer money that they don’t have.
I would think at some point the idiots buying The Marxist Onada’s debt will come to their senses. Apparently China is trying to sell off some of the debt they’ve bought.
The guardedly good news is that it looks Tax and Cap has hit a brick wall in Copenhagen thanks to China. And it looks like the steam is out of the Onadacare steam roller.
If I get nothing for Christmas (dare I say that word?) but the defeat of those two cockamayme initiatives I will be very happy.
I didn’t participate in the poll because there was no choice along the lines of, “NO WAY... IT’S A LOAD OF BS AND A SCAM!!!!!”
It’s not that domestic issues take priority. Even if everything was hunky dory, I wouldn’t support it. The poll is deceptive inasmuch as it assumes that everyone is in agreement that there is man-made climate change.
I'm a guy. I didn't realize what I had named myself until after I hit return, thinking Dixie(South) and Yooper (Upper Michigan). "The Dixie Yooper" might have been better, but it's been a few years now.
She’s got a severe staff infection. They also discovered she has type 1 diabetes, which is complicating things. They had to do some biopsies to make sure the bumps weren’t cancer. But they had to open a sore on her back to drain it, and have to let it heal from the inside out. Right now their pretty sure its “just” staff, but are still trying to get everything under control.
The POTUS is a communist crypto-muslim.
